IP range scanning
Zenmap offers a range of unique features to
scan networks. The main feature is the ability to
enter an IP range for the program to scan. For
example: 10.1.1.1-100
The program would then scan through all 100
designated IP’s using the method you select.
The scans can be configured to how much
detail you want, for example you can chose an
advanced scan which scans more ports than
the regular scan.
Port Scanning
Zenmap scans are more than
just an average ping
command. You can chose
which ports you want the
program to scan as well as a
variety of advanced features
such as packet fragmentation
and decoy packets to detect
PC’s hidden behind a
firewall.
