Fast Full Port Scan with nmap

enumerationtool

Summary

Scans all 65535 TCP ports quickly with a high minimum packet rate to find services missed by a default scan.

Walkthrough

A default nmap scan only covers the top 1000 ports. Sweep all 65535 TCP ports with a high packet rate to catch services on uncommon ports.

Steps

  1. Scan every port with -p- and push throughput up with --min-rate.
  2. Follow up with a targeted -sV -sC scan on whatever ports you find open.

``bash nmap -p- --min-rate 10000 <IP> ``

Commands

bash

nmap -p- --min-rate 10000 <IP>
