Answers: How do I use Nmap to scan a network and find vulnerabilities?

network scanning
port scanning
TCP connect scan
SYN stealth scan
OS detection
NSE scripts
Wireshark packet analysis

What it concludes

Nmap can quickly perform ping sweeps to identify live hosts on a local network.
Using the TCP connect scan (-sT) completes a full 3-way handshake to check open ports.
The SYN stealth scan (-sS) helps avoid detection by firewalls and IDS by not completing the 3-way handshake.
Decoys can be added to Nmap scans to obfuscate the real scanning source IP address.
Nmap scripting engine (NSE) vulnerability scripts can automatically discover known CVEs on target hosts.
