The Nmap command constructor wizard
| Chapter 12. Zenmap GUI Users' Guide |
## The Nmap command constructor wizard The Nmap command constructor wizard allows the interactive creation of Nmap command lines without having to remember, for example, that `-sS` means “SYN scan”. Start the wizard by selecting “Command Wizard” from the “Tools” menu, by typing the ctrl+I keyboard shortcut, or by clicking the “Command Wizard” button on the toolbar. The start page of the wizard will be shown. The first question you are asked is “novice or expert?” The “Expert” mode simply opens the profile editor, for which see the section called “The profile editor” The rest of this section covers the “Novice” mode. Choose “Novice” and click “Forward”. After that you must decide whether you wish to save the scan description as a profile to run it again, or just make the command and run it once. If you choose to create a profile, you will be prompted to enter the profile’s name and optionally other meta-information about the profile such as its description (for an explanation of what the fields mean, see the section called “Profile meta-information”). If you wish to run the scan just once, you must enter the target of the scan before proceeding. Next you are presented with a series of pages that prompt you interactively for Nmap options. Making a selection from the menus or check boxes will change the command to reflect the selection. For example, choosing a scan type of “TCP SYN Scan” will add `-sS` to the command line. Checking “Operating system detection” will add `-O` to the command, and unchecking it will remove it again. You must use the menus and check boxes to make changes to the command; editing it directly has no effect. When you get to the end of wizard, click “Apply”. If you chose to create a new profile, it will be created and available in the profile combo box. If you chose to create the command and run it once, it will begin to run immediately.
