ok guys i got a question for you,

i use nmap (i dont realy know what im doing on it)
i used the commands:

[Zero_Cool@localhost ~]$ nmap -v -iR 10000 -PN -p 80 uktotty.co.uk

and all i got was:

Starting Nmap 4.23RC2 ( http://insecure.org ) at 2007-11-30 13:06 GMT
Initiating Parallel DNS resolution of 4096 hosts. at 13:06

and it has stayed like that ever since.
any one know whats going on?

-v = increase verbosity level

-iR 10000 = scan 10000 random targets

-PN doesn't exist as far as i know

-p 80 = only scan port 80

and then the host....

so, either it takes a long time because you have chosen so many targets, or it's because of the -PN option that you used.

try with removing -PN and then make a lower -iR (under 1000 should do the trick). You could also replace -PN with -P0 to make it a little quicker.

Take a look here for commands and explanations for nmap.

Code: Select all

You can also use nmap -h i think it ios for help, someone correct me if this is wrong, i haven't got time to boot my Linux box up to check but i know the option is available.

i recommend you doing a search on nmap commands and doing some reading before testing so you know what to do and what results you are looking for.

I personally recommend try running various metasploit exploits in the 7.*.*.* 9.*.*.* and 11.*.*.* IP ranges. That way, you can soon see the men in black.

That is the NSA - No thanks. Living within 5 minutes of the boarder, I would be dubbed a 'terrist' (G.W.B Style) within hours.
