Nmap: The Basics
Learn how to use Nmap to discover live hosts, find open ports, and detect service versions.

My experience with TryHackMe has been an interesting one. Interesting in the sense that I have been learning and implementing things that I did not expect to learn.

For example, I have been diving deep into commands within an Attack Box terminal. Where prompts are provided and I use the commands to answer the prompt. I used Nmap -sn with IP addresses to find live hosts. I used options like -sT to run TCP connect scans and -O for Operating System detection. Learned to distinguish the different types of port scans, detect the versions of running services, control the timing of scans, and format the output of scans.
