Installation of Nmap on Linux
Nmap is typically available in most Linux distributions’ repositories. To install it, we can use the package manager specific to our distribution.
For instance, on Debian-based systems, we can use:
sudo apt-get install nmap
On Red Hat-based systems, we can use:
sudo dnf install nmap
Using Nmap to Calculate Network Response Time
Nmap stands for Network Mapper. It is a tool, primarily used for Port scanning, to check vulnerabilities, and of course, the main purpose – Network Mapping. Most popular Linux distributions give you full root access to their distribution by default but it’s easy to configure otherwise; only remember to always add Nmap as an interactive shell before your machine starts up (not just nmap ). You should never try this at home without doing some research first! Once installed simply run: sudo apt-get install nmap. This will perform various checks which usually means that there are no existing security issues in /etc/rc.local or all files listed below have been reviewed via scans performed manually prior launch process being known about.
