Sometimes you need speed, other times you may need stealth. In some cases, bypassing firewalls may be required. Not to mention the fact that you may want to scan different protocols (UDP, TCP, ICMP, etc.). You just can't do all this with one scanning mode. Thus nmap incorporats virtually every scanning technique known of. See the nmap homepage at http://www.insecure.org/nmap/index.html

nmap is a utility for port scanning large networks, although it works fine

for single hosts. The guiding philosophy for the creation of nmap was TMTOWTDI

(There's More Than One Way To Do It). Sometimes you need speed, other times
|
|
you may need stealth. In some cases, bypassing firewalls may be required. Not

to mention the fact that you may want to scan different protocols (UDP, TCP,
|
|
ICMP, etc.). You just can't do all this with one scanning mode. Thus nmap
