OS detection and port scanning without nmap.

User Name. · 08-28-2006, 11:30 PM

I don't like using nmap that much, it works extremly slow for me. I want a new port scanner, and os scanner.

What I want.

Easy to use.
Fast
Free
OS detection
Port Scanning

Are there any tools? I couldn't find any on google.

Good luck, nmap is the de facto standard. I doubt you will find anything else that meets the criteria you listed.

You might want to try out amap from THC. You may also want to consider how you are using nmap. It has a large variety of tweakable options that can affect scanning time. I'd definitely recommend doing a thorough reading of the man page and the docs on the nmap web site to anyone using nmap.

How about Foundstone's SuperScan?

I agree that Nmap is the industry standard, but this does have a GUI (if that's what you're looking for).

Hope this helps,

Portsentry ain't no scanner. Besides that it's unsupported, unmaintained code: utterly deprecated.
