NAME
zenmap - Graphical Nmap frontend and results viewer
SYNOPSIS
zenmap [options] [results file]
DESCRIPTION
Zenmap is a multi-platform graphical Nmap frontend and results
viewer. Zenmap aims to make Nmap easy for beginners to use while
giving experienced Nmap users advanced features. Frequently used
scans can be saved as profiles to make them easy to run
repeatedly. A command creator allows interactive creation of Nmap
command lines. Scan results can be saved and viewed later. Saved
scan results can be compared with one another to see how they
differ. The results of recent scans are stored in a searchable
database.
This man page only describes the few Zenmap command-line options
and some critical notes. A much more detailed Zenmap User's Guide
is available at https://nmap.org/book/zenmap.html . Other
documentation and information is available from the Zenmap web
page at https://nmap.org/zenmap/ .
OPTIONS SUMMARY
-f, --file results file
Open the given results file for viewing. The results file may
be an Nmap XML output file (.xml, as produced by nmap -oX) or
a Umit scan results file (.usr). This option may be given
more than once.
-h, --help
Show a help message and exit.
-n, --nmap Nmap command line
Run the given Nmap command within the Zenmap interface. After
-n or --nmap, every remaining command line argument is read
as the command line to execute. This means that -n or --nmap
must be given last, after any other options. Note that the
command line must include the nmap executable name: zenmap -n
nmap -sS target.
-p, --profile profile
Start with the given profile selected. The profile name is
just a string: "Regular scan". If combined with -t, begin a
scan with the given profile against the specified target.
-t, --target target
Start with the given target. If combined with -p, begin a
scan with the given profile against the specified target.
-v, --verbose
Increase verbosity (of Zenmap, not Nmap). This option may be
given multiple times to get even more verbosity.
Any other arguments are taken to be the names of results files to
open.
ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES
ZENMAP_DEVELOPMENT
Set ZENMAP_DEVELOPMENT to disable automatic crash reporting.
BUGS
Like their authors, Nmap and Zenmap aren’t perfect. But you can
help make them better by sending bug reports or even writing
patches. If Nmap or Zenmap doesn’t behave the way you expect,
first upgrade to the latest version available from
https://nmap.org . If the problem persists, do some research to
determine whether it has already been discovered and addressed.
Try Googling the error message or browsing the nmap-dev archives
at https://seclists.org/ . Read this full manual page as well. If
nothing comes of this, mail a bug report to <dev@nmap.org>.
Please include everything you have learned about the problem, as
well as what version of Zenmap you are running and what operating
system version it is running on. Problem reports and Zenmap usage
questions sent to dev@nmap.org are far more likely to be answered
than those sent to Fyodor directly.
Code patches to fix bugs are even better than bug reports. Basic
instructions for creating patch files with your changes are
available at https://svn.nmap.org/nmap/HACKING . Patches may be
sent to nmap-dev (recommended) or to Fyodor directly.
HISTORY
Zenmap was originally derived from Umit, an Nmap GUI created
during the Google-sponsored Nmap Summer of Code in 2005 and 2006.
The primary author of Umit was Adriano Monteiro Marques. When
Umit was modified and integrated into Nmap in 2007, it was
renamed Zenmap.
