Review:

Free and open source utility. Supports many OS: Windows, Linux, Mac OS X, BSD, and Solaris. Useful for tasks such as network inventory, managing service upgrade schedules, and monitoring host or service uptime. Pretty good for TCP and UDP port scanning and testing firewall open port. Nmap was named “Security Product of the Year” by Linux Journal, Info World, LinuxQuestions.Org, and Codetalker Digest. It was even featured in twelve movies, including The Matrix Reloaded, Die Hard 4, Girl With the Dragon Tattoo, and The Bourne Ultimatum. (http://www.nmap.org/movies)

Supported OS:

Microsoft Windows
Mac OS X
FreeBSD, OpenBSD, and NetBSD
