To scan ports using Nmap, you can use the following command in your terminal:
nmap <target_ip>
Replace <target_ip> with the IP address of the target you want to scan. For example, to scan a local machine, you might use:
nmap 127.0.0.1
If you want to scan a specific range of ports, you can specify the ports using the -p option:
nmap -p 1-100 <target_ip>
This command scans ports 1 through 100 on the specified target.
For a more detailed scan that includes service version detection, you can use:
nmap -sV <target_ip>
This will provide information about the services running on the open ports.
Make sure to run Nmap with appropriate permissions, as some scans may require elevated privileges.
