NMAP Basics: How to Perform Network Scanning - Lecture 1

Welcome to Lecture 1 of our NMAP Network Scanning series! In this tutorial, we’ll cover the basics of NMAP (Network Mapper), one of the most powerful and widely used tools for network scanning and security auditing. Whether you're new to network security, penetration testing, or ethical hacking, this video will introduce you to the essential NMAP commands and techniques used to gather information about devices and networks.
In this first lecture, we'll focus on:
What NMAP is and how it works for network discovery.
The importance of network scanning in cybersecurity and ethical hacking.
Basic NMAP commands and options for performing simple scans.
How to identify live hosts, open ports, and service versions on a network.
An introduction to scan types (e.g., Ping Scan, TCP Connect Scan) and their uses.
By the end of this video, you’ll be able to perform basic network scans using NMAP and understand how to interpret the results. This is a must-know skill for anyone interested in network security, system administration, or ethical hacking.
🔍 What You'll Learn:
How to install and configure NMAP on your system.
Performing a basic ping scan to identify live hosts.
Running a TCP Connect Scan to discover open ports.
Understanding the NMAP output and interpreting scan results.
Basic network reconnaissance techniques for security professionals.
