NMap is a network scanning utility that is in the top 5, or at least top 20 list for most valuable utility for almost every network administrator, security consultant, or casual ‘security researcher’. Originally written by Gordon Lyon, aka “Fyodor”, NMap has existed as one of the most used tools- commercial and open source included- for more than a decade.
NMap users have also been lucky in that NMap is one of the best, if not the best, maintained open source projects out there. The software is constantly revised and updated to include the latest cutting edge features and functions. More importantly, the documentation and support available online is extensive.
Why then, you might ask, should you spend money on this book? Well, truth be told if you’re trying to decide between groceries or this book, or filling your gas tank and this book- get the gas and groceries and refer to the free online resources. But, if you can spare the $50 it will be money well spent- plus it helps give a little back to “Fyodor” who has given so much to us- the networking and security field at large.
If financially supporting the person who developed this brilliant utility is not sufficient motivation, the book contains additional information you won’t find online. Not only does the book cover every type of scan and assessment you can possibly execute with NMap, it also provides some background explanation for why “Fyodor” chose to design it the way he did, and a complete chapter dedicated to the NMap Scripting Engine (NSE).
If you work in IT, odds are good that you have used this tool. If you haven’t, you probably should have been. NMap is simply a required tool in the IT toolbox. Similarly, this book is required reading for anyone in IT to get the most out of that tool. Spend the $50. You won’t regret it.

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.

This book covers all of Nmap’s features in full detail. It’s a good read for IT professionals who want to further their understanding of network scanning and security topics. It is a highly technical guide, so if you are looking for a simple introduction to Nmap you should start elsewhere and work your way up to this book.

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.
