Professional nmap scanning techniques and optimization for penetration testing. Use this skill when you need to perform network reconnaissance, port scanning, or service enumeration during authorized security assessments.

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# Nmap Professional Scanning Techniques

## Overview

This skill provides advanced nmap scanning techniques optimized for penetration testing engagements.

## Timing Optimization

### Aggressive Timing (`-T4`)
Use for fast, reliable scanning on known networks:
```bash
nmap -T4 -sS <target>
```

### Stealth Timing (`-T2`)
Use when avoiding detection is critical:
```bash
nmap -T2 -sS -f --data-length 50 <target>
```

### Parallel Scanning
```bash
nmap --min-parallelism 100 -p- <target>
```

## Port Selection Strategies

### Quick Discovery
```bash
nmap --top-ports 100 <target>
```

### Full Port Scan
```bash
nmap -p- <target>
```

### Specific Port Ranges
```bash
nmap -p 80,443,8080,8443 <target>
```

## Service Detection

### Version Detection
```bash
nmap -sV --version-intensity 9 <target>
```

### Lightweight Detection
```bash
nmap -sV --version-light <target>
```

## OS Detection

### Aggressive OS Detection
```bash
nmap -O <target>
```

### With Version + Script
```bash
nmap -A <target>
```

## Output Formats

### XML (for parsing)
```bash
nmap -oX report.xml <target>
```

### Grepable
```bash
nmap -oG report.gnmap <target>
```

### All Formats
```bash
nmap -oA report <target>

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add iammm0/secbot/nmap-usage@sha256:0d67eb564f67833b

The line at the top of this page pins the label v1.0.0, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
