Penetration Testing with Nmap

• An understanding of networks and the internet

Audience

• Software Testers

Nmap is a port scanner used for penetration and network testing. Port scanners such as Nmap, discover vulnerable communications on computer network systems.

This instructor-led, live training (online or onsite) is aimed at software testers who wish to protect their organization's network with Nmap.

By the end of this training, participants will be able to:

• Set up the necessary testing environment to start using Nmap.
• Scan network systems for security vulnerabilities.
• Discover active and vulnerable hosts.
