What is NMapWin?


NMapWin is a Windows/2000/XP front-end for nmap. It is based on nmap v2.54beta36. For more information about nmap see http://www.insecure.org.

This distribution also contains a Windows versions of winpcap (version 2.3). You have to install winpcap first, before you can use any advanced nmap options, or in case your operating system does not support raw sockets.

Version above 1.2.8 has all command line switches implemented. The front end looks similar to the GTK style front-end, but without using the any GTK/GDK/Gimp libraries on Win32. This makes NMapWin much more suitable for Windows platforms.

NMapWin includes the Front-End GUI as well as a win32 service. The service has the ability to start a nmap scan in regular intervals. The scan interval as well as the start time can be adjusted. Scan intervals range from 1h (minimum) to several month. The actual nmap process is startes as win32 background process. See Service Overview for more information on the NMap service.

NMapWin does not currently support any other flavour of Windows (neither Windows98, Windows ME, Windows CE etc.)
