Frequently Asked Questions

What are advanced Nmap techniques?

They include tuning timing, fragmenting packets, using decoys, running NSE scripts and detecting service versions and operating systems. These help map complex or protected networks more accurately.

What is the Nmap Scripting Engine?

The Nmap Scripting Engine (NSE) runs Lua scripts that extend scanning with vulnerability checks, brute-force tests and service discovery. Scripts are grouped into categories such as safe, intrusive and vuln.

Can Nmap bypass a firewall?

Some options, such as fragmentation, decoys and source port tricks, may reveal filtering behavior or evade weak rules. Results vary, and you should use them only with authorization.
