Nmap-7.93

Introduction to Nmap

Nmap is a utility for network exploration and security auditing. It supports ping scanning, port scanning and TCP/IP fingerprinting.

This package is known to build and work properly using an LFS 11.3 platform.

These packages are recommended because if they're not installed, the build process will compile and link against its own (often older) version.

PyGTK-2.24.0 (required for zenmap), Python-2.7.18 (required for ndiff), and libssh2-1.10.0

Install Nmap by running the following commands:

./configure --prefix=/usr &&
make

To test the results, issue: make check as the root user. Tests need a graphical session.

Now, as the root user:

make install
