ZENMAP(1)                   Zenmap Reference Guide                   ZENMAP(1)


NAME

       zenmap - Graphical Nmap frontend and results viewer


SYNOPSIS

       zenmap [options] [results file]


DESCRIPTION

       Zenmap is a multi-platform graphical Nmap frontend and results viewer.
       Zenmap aims to make Nmap easy for beginners to use while giving
       experienced Nmap users advanced features. Frequently used scans can be
       saved as profiles to make them easy to run repeatedly. A command
       creator allows interactive creation of Nmap command lines. Scan results
       can be saved and viewed later. Saved scan results can be compared with
       one another to see how they differ. The results of recent scans are
       stored in a searchable database.

       This man page only describes the few Zenmap command-line options and
       some critical notes. A much more detailed Zenmap User's Guide is
       available at http://nmap.org/book/zenmap.html. Other documentation and
       information is available from the Zenmap web page at
       http://nmap.org/zenmap/.


OPTIONS SUMMARY

       -f, --file results file
           Open the given results file for viewing. The results file may be an
           Nmap XML output file (.xml, as produced by nmap -oX) or a Umit scan
           results file (.usr). This option may be given more than once.

       -h, --help
           Show a help message and exit.

       -n, --nmap Nmap command line
           Run the given Nmap command within the Zenmap interface. After -n or
           --nmap, every remaining command line argument is read as the
           command line to execute. This means that -n or --nmap must be given
           last, after any other options. Note that the command line must
           include the nmap executable name: zenmap -n nmap -sS target.

       -p, --profile profile
           Start with the given profile selected. The profile name is just a
           string: "Regular scan". If combined with -t, begin a scan with the
           given profile against the specified target.

       -t, --target target
           Start with the given target. If combined with -p, begin a scan with
           the given profile against the specified target.

       -v, --verbose
           Increase verbosity (of Zenmap, not Nmap). This option may be given
           multiple times to get even more verbosity.

       Any other arguments are taken to be the names of results files to open.


ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES

       ZENMAP_DEVELOPMENT
           Set ZENMAP_DEVELOPMENT to disable automatic crash reporting.


BUGS

       Like their authors, Nmap and Zenmap aren't perfect. But you can help
       make them better by sending bug reports or even writing patches. If
       Nmap or Zenmap doesn't behave the way you expect, first upgrade to the
       latest version available from http://nmap.org. If the problem persists,
       do some research to determine whether it has already been discovered
       and addressed. Try Googling the error message or browsing the nmap-dev
       archives at http://seclists.org/. Read this full manual page as well.
       If nothing comes of this, mail a bug report to dev@nmap.org. Please
       include everything you have learned about the problem, as well as what
       version of Zenmap you are running and what operating system version it
       is running on. Problem reports and Zenmap usage questions sent to
       dev@nmap.org are far more likely to be answered than those sent to
       Fyodor directly.

       Code patches to fix bugs are even better than bug reports. Basic
       instructions for creating patch files with your changes are available
       at https://svn.nmap.org/nmap/HACKING. Patches may be sent to nmap-dev
       (recommended) or to Fyodor directly.


HISTORY

       Zenmap was originally derived from Umit, an Nmap GUI created during the
       Google-sponsored Nmap Summer of Code in 2005 and 2006. The primary
       author of Umit was Adriano Monteiro Marques. When Umit was modified and
       integrated into Nmap in 2007, it was renamed Zenmap.

   Umit
       Zenmap is derived from the Umit Nmap frontend, which was started by
