Metasploit Penetration Testing Cookbook - Third Edition

How to do it...

Starting Nmap from Metasploit is easy:

1. Launch msfconsole and type in nmap to display the list of scan options that Nmap provides:

msf > nmap

2. The TCP connect [-sT] scan is the most basic and default scan type in Nmap. It follows the three-way handshake process to detect the open ports on the target machine. Let's perform this scan on one of our targets:
