We have analyzed three different types of Nmap scans that can be very helpful during penetration testing. Nmap provides lots of different modes for scanning the target machine. Here, we will focus on three scan types, namely, the TCP connect scan, the SYN stealth scan, and the UDP scan. The different scan options of Nmap can also be combined in a single scan in order to perform a more advanced and sophisticated scan over the target. Let's move ahead and start the scanning process.
During a penetration test, the scanning process can provide lots of useful results. Since the information collected here will form the basis of penetration testing, proper knowledge of scan types is highly recommended. Let's now take a deeper look ...
