Nmap: The Art of Port Scanning - by Fyodor
by Neewok
This paper details many of the techniques used to determine what ports (or
similar protocol abstraction) of a host are listening for connections. These
ports represent potential communication channels. Mapping their existence
facilitates the exchange of information with the host, and thus it is quite
useful for anyone wishing to explore their networked environment, including
hackers. Despite what you have heard from the media, the Internet is NOT
all about TCP port 80. Anyone who relies exclusively on the WWW for
information gathering is likely to gain the same level of proficiency as your
average AOLer, who does the same. This paper is also meant to serve as an
introduction to and ancillary documentation for a coding project I have been
working on. It is a full featured, robust port scanner which (I hope) solves
some of the problems I have encountered when dealing with other scanners and
when working to scan massive networks.
Nmap - Free Security Scanner For Network Exploration & Security Audits.

& 1 other
Nmap ("Network Mapper") is a free open source utility for network
exploration or security auditing. It was designed to rapidly scan
large networks, although it works fine against single hosts. Nmap
uses raw IP packets in novel ways to determine what hosts are
available on the network, what services (application name and version)
those hosts are offering, what operating systems (and OS versions) they are
running, what type of packet filters/firewalls are in use, and dozens
of other characteristics.
