Nmap supports several output formats, each designed for different use cases. Here are the main output formats:
-
Normal Output (
-oN): Human-readable format, easy to understand at a glance. -
XML Output (
-oX): Structured format for easy parsing by programs, useful for integration with other tools. -
Grepable Output (
-oG): Line-based format designed for processing with Unix tools likegrep,awk, andcut. -
Script Kiddie Output (
-oS): Similar to normal output but includes ASCII art; rarely used in practical scenarios. -
All Formats (
-oA): Saves the scan results in normal, XML, and grepable formats simultaneously for convenience.
These formats allow you to choose the best way to present and analyze your scan results based on your needs. If you have further questions or need examples, let me know!
