Nmap features include: Fast scan (nmap -F [target]) – Performing a basic port scan for fast result.Host discovery – Identifying hosts on a network. For example, listing the hosts that respond to TCP and/or ICMP requests or have a particular port open.
Performing a port scan and OS identification (-O option in nmap) on the zombie candidate network rather than just a ping scan helps in selecting a good zombie. As long as verbose mode (-v) is enabled, OS detection will usually determine the IP ID sequence generation method and print a line such as “IP ID Sequence Generation: Incremental”.
Port scanning, and nmap, may help to identify which ports are open on suspect IPs, however, even when it says that proxy ports are open the default scan does not check to see if it is an open proxy using that port. It could be a closed proxy expecting authentication, or even a normal website.
Proxy scan - a proxy (SOCKS or HTTP) is used to perform the scan. The target will see the proxy's IP address as the source. This can also be done using some FTP servers. Idle scan - Another method of scanning without revealing one's IP address, taking advantage of the predictable IP ID flaw. CatSCAN - Checks ports for erroneous packets.
Xerox Network Systems (XNS) Clearinghouse (Name Server). Despite this port being assigned by IANA, the service is meant to work on SPP (ancestor of IPX/SPX), instead of TCP/IP. [36] 55: Assigned: isi-gl (ISI Graphics Language) [3] 56: Assigned: Xerox Network Systems (XNS) Authentication Protocol.
In computing, a ping sweep is a method that can establish a range of IP addresses which map to live hosts.. The classic tool used for ping sweeps is fping, [1] [2] [3] which traditionally was accompanied by gping to generate the list of hosts for large subnets, [4] although more recent versions of fping include that functionality.

Network enumeration is a computing activity in which usernames and info on groups, shares, and services of networked computers are retrieved. It should not be confused with network mapping, which only retrieves information about which servers are connected to a specific network and what operating system runs on them.
hping is an open-source packet generator and analyzer for the TCP/IP protocol created by Salvatore Sanfilippo (also known as Antirez). It is one of the common tools used for security auditing and testing of firewalls and networks, and was used to exploit the idle scan scanning technique (also invented by the hping author), and now implemented in the Nmap Security Scanner.
