Product Description
Nmap Network Scanning is the official guide to the Nmap Security Scanner, a free and open source utility used by millions of people for network discovery, administration, and security auditing. From explaining port scanning basics for novices to detailing low-level packet crafting methods used by advanced hackers, this book suits all levels of security and networking professionals. A 42-page reference guide documents every Nmap feature and option, while the rest of the book demonstrates how to apply those features to quickly solve real-world tasks. Examples and diagrams show actual communication on the wire. Topics include subverting firewalls and intrusion detection systems, optimizing Nmap performance, and automating common networking tasks with the Nmap Scripting Engine. Hints and instructions are provided for common uses such as taking network inventory, penetration testing, detecting rogue wireless access points, and quashing network worm outbreaks. Nmap runs on Windows, Linux, and Mac OS X. Nmap's original author, Gordon "Fyodor" Lyon, wrote this book to share everything he has learned about network scanning during more than 11 years of Nmap development.

Must Have February 12, 2010
David Stephenson (Florida)
If you are serious about Security scanning this is the book to have. Most of the information is online at [...] The big difference is the book provides more information with different scenarios of why and when you do different scans. I learned more things that I can do in the book that I missed reading online.
There simply isn't a better guide January 18, 2010

NMAP is a powerful tool even in its most basic usage. I knew it was capable of a lot more than the preconfigured scans Zenmap GUI provides, but I had no idea the depth of the product. While "Fyodor" provides a lot of documentation online at the NMAP web site, the book definitely goes above and beyond.
If you're looking at doing network analysis, this book is a must-read and inexpensive compared to most IT-field references.
The only nmap book to get September 16, 2009

As others have said much better than I can, this is an amazing book.
It covers pretty much everything about nmap and gives excellent descriptions of the many scans you can perform. The best part is that it is not rehashed man page information, but he explains what is going on under the hood. This makes the book invaluable as a reference.
There are several amusing stories about nmap usage, the story is priceless and absolutely stunning! The only confusing part is the warnings about scanning without permission, yet seems to do it throughout the book. The Playboy*** scan story was a hoot but I doubt he had permission to do that.
This book is a must for all network and security students and professionals.
***Hopefully this word won't get censored yet again by the hypocritical Amazon morals police.
