[Intense scan] command = nmap -T4 -A -v description = An intense, comprehensive scan. The -A option enables OS detection (-O), version detection (-sV), script scanning (-sC), and traceroute (--traceroute). Without root privileges only version detection and script scanning are run. This is considered an intrusive scan. [Intense scan plus UDP] command = nmap -sS -sU -T4 -A -v description = Does OS detection (-O), version detection (-sV), script scanning (-sC), and traceroute (--traceroute) in addition to scanning TCP and UDP ports. [Intense scan, all TCP ports] command = nmap -p 1-65535 -T4 -A -v description = Scans all TCP ports, then does OS detection (-O), version detection (-sV), script scanning (-sC), and traceroute (--traceroute). [Intense scan, no ping] command = nmap -T4 -A -v -Pn description = Does an intense scan without checking to see if targets are up first. This can be useful when a target seems to ignore the usual host discovery probes. [Ping scan] command = nmap -sn description = This scan only finds which targets are up and does not port scan them. [Quick scan] command = nmap -T4 -F description = This scan is faster than a normal scan because it uses the aggressive timing template and scans fewer ports. [Quick scan plus] command = nmap -sV -T4 -O -F --version-light description = A quick scan plus OS and version detection. [Quick traceroute] command = nmap -sn --traceroute description = Traces the paths to targets without doing a full port scan on them. [Regular scan] command = nmap description = A basic port scan with no extra options. [Slow comprehensive scan] command = nmap -sS -sU -T4 -A -v -PE -PS80,443 -PA3389 -PP -PU40125 -PY --source-port 53 --script "default or (discovery and safe)" description = This is a comprehensive, slow scan. Every TCP and UDP port is scanned. OS detection (-O), version detection (-sV), script scanning (-sC), and traceroute (--traceroute) are all enabled. Many probes are sent for host discovery. This is a highly intrusive scan.
