How to install & configure Nmap in Windows?

Step to Install & Configure

1. Download Nmap
2. Unzip Nmap
3. Move Nmap directory data into c:\Program Files\nmap
4. Execute winpcap
5. Execute  Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable Package

Now We can run nmap command on Command Prompt.

TARGET SPECIFICATION:

  Can pass hostnames, IP addresses, networks, etc.

  Ex: santoshmaheswari.blogspot.com, microsoft.com/24, 192.168.0.1; 10.0.0-255.1-254

  -iL <inputfilename>: Input from list of hosts/networks

  -iR <num hosts>: Choose random targets

  --exclude <host1[,host2][,host3],...>: Exclude hosts/networks

  --excludefile <exclude_file>: Exclude list from file

HOST DISCOVERY:

    -sL: List Scan - simply list targets to scan

    -sn: Ping Scan - disable port scan

    -Pn: Treat all hosts as online -- skip host discovery

 -PS/PA/PU/PY[portlist]: TCP SYN/ACK, UDP or SCTP discovery to given ports

 -PE/PP/PM: ICMP echo, timestamp, and netmask request discovery probes

   -PO[protocol list]: IP Protocol Ping

 -n/-R: Never do DNS resolution/Always resolve [default: sometimes]

  --dns-servers <serv1[,serv2],...>: Specify custom DNS servers

  --system-dns: Use OS's DNS resolver

  --traceroute: Trace hop path to each host

SCAN TECHNIQUES:

  -sS/sT/sA/sW/sM: TCP SYN/Connect()/ACK/Window/Maimon scans

  -sU: UDP Scan

  -sN/sF/sX: TCP Null, FIN, and Xmas scans

  --scanflags <flags>: Customize TCP scan flags

  -sI <zombie host[:probeport]>: Idle scan

  -sY/sZ: SCTP INIT/COOKIE-ECHO scans

  -sO: IP protocol scan

  -b <FTP relay host>: FTP bounce scan

PORT SPECIFICATION AND SCAN ORDER:

  -p <port ranges>: Only scan specified ports

    Ex: -p22; -p1-65535; -p U:53,111,137,T:21-25,80,139,8080,S:9

 --exclude-ports <port ranges>: Exclude the specified ports from scanning

  -F: Fast mode - Scan fewer ports than the default scan

  -r: Scan ports consecutively - don't randomize

  --top-ports <number>: Scan <number> most common ports

  --port-ratio <ratio>: Scan ports more common than <ratio>

SERVICE/VERSION DETECTION:

  -sV: Probe open ports to determine service/version info

  --version-intensity <level>: Set from 0 (light) to 9 (try all probes)

  --version-light: Limit to most likely probes (intensity 2)

  --version-all: Try every single probe (intensity 9)

 --version-trace: Show detailed version scan activity (for debugging)

SCRIPT SCAN:

  -sC: equivalent to --script=default

  --script=<Lua scripts>: <Lua scripts> is a comma separated list of directories, script-files or script-categories

  --script-args=<n1=v1,[n2=v2,...]>: provide arguments to scripts

  --script-args-file=filename: provide NSE script args in a file

  --script-trace: Show all data sent and received

  --script-updatedb: Update the script database

 --script-help=<Lua scripts>: Show help about scripts <Lua scripts> is a comma-separated list of script-files or script-categories.

OS DETECTION:

  -O: Enable OS detection

  --osscan-limit: Limit OS detection to promising targets

  --osscan-guess: Guess OS more aggressively

TIMING AND PERFORMANCE:

Options which take <time> are in seconds, or append 'ms' (milliseconds), 's' (seconds), 'm' (minutes), or 'h' (hours) to the value (e.g. 30m).

  -T<0-5>: Set timing template (higher is faster)

 --min-hostgroup/max-hostgroup <size>: Parallel host scan group sizes

--min-parallelism/max-parallelism <numprobes>: Probe parallelization

--min-rtt-timeout/max-rtt-timeout/initial-rtt-timeout <time>: Specifies probe round trip time.

--max-retries <tries>: Caps number of port scan probe retransmissions.

--host-timeout <time>: Give up on target after this long

--scan-delay/--max-scan-delay <time>: Adjust delay between probes

--min-rate <number>: Send packets no slower than <number> per second

--max-rate <number>: Send packets no faster than <number> per second

FIREWALL/IDS EVASION AND SPOOFING:

  -f; --mtu <val>: fragment packets (optionally w/given MTU)

  -D <decoy1,decoy2[,ME],...>: Cloak a scan with decoys

  -S <IP_Address>: Spoof source address

  -e <iface>: Use specified interface

  -g/--source-port <portnum>: Use given port number

--proxies <url1,[url2],...>: Relay connections through HTTP/SOCKS4 proxies

  --data <hex string>: Append a custom payload to sent packets

 --data-string <string>: Append a custom ASCII string to sent packets

  --data-length <num>: Append random data to sent packets

  --ip-options <options>: Send packets with specified ip options

  --ttl <val>: Set IP time-to-live field

 --spoof-mac <mac address/prefix/vendor name>: Spoof your MAC address

  --badsum: Send packets with a bogus TCP/UDP/SCTP checksum 

OUTPUT:

  -oN/-oX/-oS/-oG <file>: Output scan in normal, XML and Grepable format, respectively, to the given filename.

  -oA <basename>: Output in the three major formats at once

  -v: Increase verbosity level (use -vv or more for greater effect)

  -d: Increase debugging level (use -dd or more for greater effect)

  --reason: Display the reason a port is in a particular state

  --open: Only show open (or possibly open) ports

  --packet-trace: Show all packets sent and received

  --iflist: Print host interfaces and routes (for debugging)

  --append-output: Append to rather than clobber specified output files

  --resume <filename>: Resume an aborted scan

 --stylesheet <path/URL>: XSL stylesheet to transform XML output to HTML

  --webxml: Reference stylesheet from Nmap.Org for more portable XML

  --no-stylesheet: Prevent associating of XSL stylesheet w/XML output 

MISC:

  -6: Enable IPv6 scanning

  -A: Enable OS detection, version detection, script scanning, and traceroute

  --datadir <dirname>: Specify custom Nmap data file location

  --send-eth/--send-ip: Send using raw ethernet frames or IP packets

  --privileged: Assume that the user is fully privileged

  --unprivileged: Assume the user lacks raw socket privileges
