"The industry standard for port scanning, service detection, and network mapping."
Nmap is the most widely used network scanner in security. It sends crafted packets to discover which ports are open on a target, what services are running on those ports, and which versions of those services are installed. From a single IP address to a /16 network range, nmap gives you a complete picture of what's exposed.
PTK exposes 10 different nmap scan types — from a fast top-100-ports sweep to a deep full-port scan with script execution and OS detection. Each scan type produces structured findings with port numbers, service names, version strings, and CVE matches when a vulnerable version is detected.
Use nmap as the first tool on any new target. Its findings tell you what attack surface exists before running deeper tools like nuclei or nikto.
