Introduction to Nmap with Video Support

  • 7 Courses | 8h 6m 5s
  • 6 Labs | 6h
Network scanning is essential for cybersecurity professionals to identify any malicious activities and vulnerabilities and gain a better understanding of their network. With the popular ethical hacking tool, Nmap, cybersecurity professionals can efficiently perform network discovery and security auditing. In this Aspire Journey, you will combine interactive and video learning to explore the tools (Command Line, Bash, and Lua) needed to use Nmap efficiently. Lastly, you will explore how to scan systems with Nmap.

Track 1: Learn the Command Line

In this Track of the Nmap Basic Skillsoft Aspire Journey, the focus will be on Bash Scripting. When you have a command or set of commands that you will be using frequently, you can write a script in Bash to perform it. This is helpful in using Nmap effectively as you can create your own scripts to automate Nmap's abilities.

Security Programming: Command Line Essentials
This 14-video course explores how to navigate a Linux command-line environment by showing learners how to use its most common tools, including text editing and processing, file monitoring and comparison, and package management. You will examine the common properties of the command line environment, including the bash shell, its properties, and the features of the PowerShell environment. This course next demonstrates how to perform text editing using commands such as nano; how to use the Linux EI library, Linux ED text editor; and text processing using commands such as sed awk, and cut. You will learn how to perform repeat actions, and the bash shell history, and perform process control tasks such as PS and kill. Then learn how to use the command line to schedule jobs, perform file and command monitoring, and perform file comparison using the diff command. Finally, this course demonstrates how to redirect the inputs and outputs of commands and files, and perform package management tasks by using the apt command.
