Most readers will use the table of contents to skip directly to sections that concern them. This chapter describes how to install Nmap on many platforms, including both source code compilation and binary installation methods. Graphical and command-line versions of Nmap are described and contrasted. Nmap removal instructions are also provided in case you change your mind.</p><section class="sect2" id="inst-already"><div class="titlepage"><div><div><h3 class="title">Testing Whether Nmap is Already Installed</h3></div></div></div><a id="idm45818757055680" class="indexterm"></a><p>The first step toward obtaining Nmap is to check whether you already have it. Many free operating system distributions (including most Linux and BSD systems) come with Nmap packages, although they may not be installed by default. On Unix systems, open a terminal window and try executing the command <span class="command"><strong>nmap <code class="option">--version</code></strong></span>. If Nmap exists and is in your <code class="envar">PATH</code>,<a id="idm45818757052560" class="indexterm"></a> you should see output similar to that in <a class="xref" href="install.html#ex-checking-for-nmap" title="Example 2.1. Checking for Nmap and determining its version number">Example 2.1</a>.</p><a id="idm45818757050464" class="indexterm"></a><div class="example" id="ex-checking-for-nmap"><div class="example-title">Example 2.1.

As the example above shows, Nmap responds to the command by printing its version number (here <code class="literal">4.76</code>).</p><p>Even if your system already has a copy of Nmap, you should consider upgrading to the latest version available from <a class="ulink" href="https://nmap.org/download.html" target="_top"><code class="systemitem">https://nmap.org/download.html</code></a>.<a id="idm45818757040960" class="indexterm"></a> Newer versions often run faster, fix important bugs, and feature updated operating system and service version detection databases. A list of changes since the version already on your system can be found at <a class="ulink" href="https://nmap.org/changelog.html" target="_top"><code class="systemitem">https://nmap.org/changelog.html</code></a>.<a id="idm45818757038832" class="indexterm"></a> Nmap output examples in this document may not match the output produced by older versions. </p></section><section class="sect2" id="inst-interfaces"><div class="titlepage"><div><div><h3 class="title">Command-line and Graphical Interfaces</h3></div></div></div><p>Nmap has traditionally been a command-line tool run from a Unix shell or (more recently) Windows command prompt. This allows experts to quickly execute a command that does exactly what they want without having to maneuver through a bunch of configuration panels and scattered option fields. This also makes Nmap easier to script and enables easy sharing of useful commands among the user community.</p><p>One downside of the command-line approach is that it can be intimidating for new and infrequent users. Nmap offers more than a hundred command-line options, although many are obscure features or debugging controls that most users can ignore. Many graphical frontends have been created for those users who prefer a GUI interface. Nmap has traditionally included a simple GUI for Unix named <span class="application">NmapFE</span><a id="idm45818757034800" class="indexterm"></a>, but that was replaced in 2007 by Zenmap, which we have been developing since 2005. Zenmap is far more powerful and effective than NmapFE, particularly in results viewing. Zenmap's tab-based interface lets you search and sort results, and also browse them in several ways (host details, raw Nmap output, and ports/hosts). It works on Linux, Windows, Mac OS X, and other platforms. Zenmap is covered in depth in <a class="xref" href="zenmap.html" title="Chapter 12. Zenmap GUI Users' Guide">Chapter 12, <em>Zenmap GUI Users' Guide</em></a>. The rest of this book focuses on command-line Nmap invocations. Once you understand how the command-line options work and can interpret the output, using Zenmap or the other available Nmap GUIs is easy. Nmap's options work the same way whether you choose them from radio buttons and menus or type them at a command-line. </p></section><section class="sect2" id="inst-download"><div class="titlepage"><div><div><h3 class="title">Downloading Nmap</h3></div></div></div><a id="idm45818757031616" class="indexterm"></a><p>Nmap.Org is the official source for downloading Nmap source code and binaries for Nmap and Zenmap. Source code is distributed in bzip2 and gzip compressed tar files, and binaries are available for Linux (RPM format), Windows (NSIS executable installer) and Mac OS X (<code class="filename">.dmg</code> disk image).

Popular packages such as Sendmail (<a class="ulink" href="http://cert.org/advisories/CA-2002-28.html" target="_top">example</a>), OpenSSH (<a class="ulink" href="http://cert.org/advisories/CA-2002-24.html" target="_top">example</a>), tcpdump, Libpcap, BitchX, Fragrouter, and many others have been infected with malicious trojans. Software distributions sites at the Free Software Foundation, Debian, and SourceForge have also been successfully compromised. This has never happened to Nmap, but one should always be careful. To verify the authenticity of an Nmap release, consult the PGP detached signatures or cryptographic hashes (including SHA1 and MD5) posted for the release in the Nmap signatures directory at <a class="ulink" href="https://nmap.org/dist/sigs/?C=M&O=D" target="_top"><code class="systemitem">https://nmap.org/dist/sigs/?C=M&O=D</code></a>.</p><p>The most secure verification mechanism is detached PGP<a id="idm45818757022544" class="indexterm"></a> signatures. As the signing key is never stored on production servers, even someone who successfully compromises the web server couldn't forge and properly sign a trojan release. While numerous applications are able to verify PGP signatures, I recommend <a class="ulink" href="http://www.gnupg.org/" target="_top">GNU Privacy Guard (GPG)</a>.</p><a id="idm45818757020640" class="indexterm"></a><p> Nmap releases are signed with a special Nmap Project Signing Key,<a id="idm45818757019488" class="indexterm"></a> which can be obtained from the major keyservers or <a class="ulink" href="https://svn.nmap.org/nmap/docs/nmap_gpgkeys.txt" target="_top"><code class="systemitem">https://svn.nmap.org/nmap/docs/nmap_gpgkeys.txt</code></a>. My key is included in that file too. The keys can be imported with the command <span class="command"><strong>gpg --import nmap_gpgkeys.txt</strong></span>. You only need to do this once, then you can verify all future Nmap releases from that machine. Before trusting the keys, verify that the fingerprints match the values shown in <a class="xref" href="install.html#ex-check-gpg-keys" title="Example 2.2.

When developers feel that an experimental branch is ready for wider-scale testing, they will generally email the location to the <em class="citetitle">nmap-dev</em> mailing list.</p><p>Once Nmap is checked out, you can build it from source code just as you would with the Nmap tarball (described later in this chapter).</p><p>If you would like real-time (or digested) notification and diffs by email when any changes are made to Nmap, sign up for the nmap-svn mailing list at <a class="ulink" href="https://nmap.org/mailman/listinfo/svn" target="_top"><code class="systemitem">https://nmap.org/mailman/listinfo/svn</code></a>.</p></section></section><a id="idm45818756432320" class="indexterm"></a></section><footer><hr/><nav class="docnav-footer"><div class="dn-unit"><a class="dn-link dn-prev" href="history-future.html">Prev</a><span class="dn-title">The History and Future of Nmap</span></div><div class="dn-unit"><a class="dn-link dn-up" href="toc.html" accesskey="u">Up</a><span class="dn-title">Nmap Network Scanning</span></div><div class="dn-unit"><a class="dn-link dn-home" href="toc.html" accesskey="h">Home</a></div><div class="dn-unit"><a class="dn-link dn-next" href="inst-source.html">Next</a><span class="dn-title">Linux/Unix Compilation and Installation from Source Code</span></div></nav></footer> </main> <footer id="nst-foot"> <form class="nst-search" id="nst-foot-search" action="/search/"> <input class="nst-search-q" name="q" type="search" placeholder="Site Search"> <button class="nst-search-button" title="Search"> <img style="width:100%;aspect-ratio:1/1;" alt="" aria-hidden="true" src="/shared/images/nst-icons.svg#search"> </button> </form> <div class="flexlists"> <div class="fl-unit"> <h2><a class="nlink" href="https://nmap.org/">Nmap Security Scanner</a></h2> <ul> <li><a class="nlink" href="https://nmap.org/book/man.html">Ref Guide</a> <li><a class="nlink" href="https://nmap.org/book/install.html">Install Guide</a> <li><a class="nlink" href="https://nmap.org/docs.html">Docs</a> <li><a class="nlink" href="https://nmap.org/download.html">Download</a> <li><a class="nlink" href="https://nmap.org/oem/">Nmap OEM</a> </ul> </div> <div class="fl-unit"> <h2><a class="nlink" href="https://npcap.com/">Npcap packet capture</a></h2> <ul> <li><a class="nlink" href="https://npcap.com/guide/">User's Guide</a> <li><a class="nlink" href="https://npcap.com/guide/npcap-devguide.html#npcap-api">API docs</a> <li><a class="nlink" href="https://npcap.com/#download">Download</a> <li><a class="nlink" href="https://npcap.com/oem/">Npcap OEM</a> </ul> </div> <div class="fl-unit"> <h2><a class="nlink" href="https://seclists.org/">Security Lists</a></h2> <ul> <li><a class="nlink" href="https://seclists.org/nmap-announce/">Nmap Announce</a> <li><a class="nlink" href="https://seclists.org/nmap-dev/">Nmap Dev</a> <li><a class="nlink" href="https://seclists.org/fulldisclosure/">Full Disclosure</a> <li><a class="nlink" href="https://seclists.org/oss-sec/">Open Source Security</a> <li><a class="nlink" href="https://seclists.org/dataloss/">BreachExchange</a> </ul> </div> <div class="fl-unit"> <h2><a class="nlink" href="https://sectools.org">Security Tools</a></h2> <ul> <li><a class="nlink" href="https://sectools.org/tag/vuln-scanners/">Vuln scanners</a> <li><a class="nlink" href="https://sectools.org/tag/pass-audit/">Password audit</a> <li><a class="nlink" href="https://sectools.org/tag/web-scanners/">Web scanners</a> <li><a class="nlink" href="https://sectools.org/tag/wireless/">Wireless</a> <li><a class="nlink" href="https://sectools.org/tag/sploits/">Exploitation</a> </ul> </div> <div class="fl-unit"> <h2><a class="nlink" href="https://insecure.org/">About</a></h2> <ul> <li><a class="nlink" href="https://insecure.org/fyodor/">About/Contact</a> <li><a class="nlink" href="https://insecure.org/privacy.html">Privacy</a> <li><a class="nlink" href="https://insecure.org/advertising.html">Advertising</a> <li><a class="nlink" href="https://nmap.org/npsl/">Nmap Public Source License</a> </ul> </div> <div class="fl-unit social-links"> <a class="nlink" href="https://twitter.com/nmap" title="Visit us on Twitter"> <img width="32" height="32" src="/shared/images/nst-icons.svg#twitter" alt="" aria-hidden="true"> </a> <a class="nlink" href="https://facebook.com/nmap" title="Visit us on Facebook"> <img width="32" height="32" src="/shared/images/nst-icons.svg#facebook" alt="" aria-hidden="true"> </a> <a class="nlink" href="https://github.com/nmap/" title="Visit us on Github"> <img width="32" height="32" src="/shared/images/nst-icons.svg#github" alt="" aria-hidden="true"> </a> <a class="nlink" href="https://reddit.com/r/nmap/" title="Discuss Nmap on Reddit"> <img width="32" height="32" src="/shared/images/nst-icons.svg#reddit" alt="" aria-hidden="true"> </a> </div> </div> </footer> </div> </body> </html>
