After writing the IP address in, you’ll need to select the type of operation to use. To start a scan, type in the known IP address into the “target” section. Now that the Zenmap tool is open, it’s ready to scan ports. Open up a terminal and run the following command to launch the app with root privileges: sudo zenmap Without root access, key features will refuse to work. To start a scan, Zenmap must be running as root. In this article, we are scanning ports for security purposes. With it, it’s possible to scan for open ports on nearly any machine as long as you know the IP address.

#ZENMAP LINUX SOFTWARE#
Zenmap may be in your distribution’s software sources. Once it is enabled, use the Zypper package manager to install it to the system. OpenSUSE distributes Zenmap via the “OSS all” software repository. sudo dnf install -y nmap-frontend OpenSUSE Open up a terminal and use the DNF packaging tool to install Zenmap. Instead, Fedora users looking to use the Zenmap tool will need to install nmap-frontend. sudo pacman -S nmap Fedoraįedora Linux doesn’t have a “Zenmap” package. Installing this package will also install Zenmap. Instead, Arch users looking to use the GUI frontend for Nmap will need to install the nmap package via Pacman. On Arch Linux, there isn’t an official “Zenmap” package in the software repositories. If you’re in need of a newer version of Zenmap than what is included with Debian Stable proper, check out Debian Backports. However, keep in mind that this version is out of date due to the nature of Debian. Otherwise, use this command in terminal: sudo apt install zenmap Debianĭebian has a version of Zenmap that is available for easy installation via the included software sources. Open up “Ubuntu Software Center,” search for “Zenmap”, and select the “Install” button. On Ubuntu, users can quickly get the latest version of Zenmap working without much trouble as Canonical makes it available in the main software sources. To install it, open up a terminal and follow the instructions below depending on your OS of choice. The software is usually found in mainstream distribution’s package repositories. Many people in the security industry use it, and as a result, it is simple to install on most mainstream Linux operating systems. The program is by far the most well-known graphical front-end for Nmap on Linux. When it comes to port scanning, Zenmap is king. If you’re curious about that state of ports on your Linux PC, or other network devices on your network, you may want to scan open ports and close the ones you’re not using. Having ports like this open is a great way for intruders to gain unwanted access to your Linux PC. Decoys lessens the chances of being caught and does it even better when used in conjunction with IP spoofing (also available in source tab).Leaving vulnerable networking ports open is dangerous, even with a steller, safe OS like Linux. One of my favorite option in Source tab is to use decoys to hide identity. Using saved profiles also ensures that when comparing two scan results you are working from the same scan options.
