# Introduction In an ancient, sprawling academy dedicated to the mystical arts of cyber magic, there exists a vast library, teeming with scrolls and tomes on every conceivable form of magical enchantment. Central to this repository of knowledge is the enchanted digital realm, guarded and curated by the esteemed Magus of Cyberspace, Lirael. Lirael, the library's custodian and a master of cyber magic, has noted an unusual disturbance in the digital ether - a sign of potentially malicious incantations at work within the academy's vast digital networks. In response to this ominous threat, Lirael has decided to enlist the help of the academy's brightest young acolytes in scanning the network using the ancient and powerful scanning spell, Nmap (Network Mapper). Your mission, should you choose to accept, is to master the various output formats of the Nmap spell, to decode the digital sigils and uncover any hidden threats lurking within the network's shadowy recesses. Your quest begins in the hallowed halls of the cyber magic library, where every keystroke and command line invocation echoes the ancient battle between order and chaos in the digital realm.
