## Other Resources While this book is an important reference for Nmap, it isn't the only one. The Nmap web page at http://nmap.org leads not only to downloads, but all sorts of documentation from Nmap developers and third parties. For example, you can find the Nmap Reference Guide translated into a dozen languages. Other books, videos, and articles covering Nmap are also available. The official web site for this book is at http://nmap.org/book Go there for errata, updates, and many sample chapters. Any serious Nmap user should subscribe to the nmap-hackers list for announcements about Nmap and Insecure.Org. Traffic is very light (about 6 posts per year) because it is reserved for only the most important announcements. Developers and particularly devoted users can also subscribe to the nmap-dev mailing list. Traffic is much higher (hundreds of posts per month), but it is a great place to learn about and try new features before they are released and to pick up tips from advanced users. Subscription information and archives for both lists are available at http://seclists.org While Nmap can be useful, it won't solve all of your security problems. Every few years I do a survey of thousands of Nmap users to determine what other tools they like. The list is posted at http://sectools.org, which has become one of my most popular web sites. Read through the list and you are sure to find many gems you had never even heard of. Most of the tools are free and open source.
