About Zenmap

Zenmap puts a window around Nmap so beginners can run scans without memorising options, while still exposing advanced features. Frequent scans can be saved as profiles, a command creator builds Nmap command lines interactively, and results can be saved, compared with one another to see what changed, and searched in a database of recent scans.

It runs on Linux, Windows, macOS and BSD and is often packaged together with Nmap itself, available from the Nmap download page.

Strengths

  • Saved scan profiles for repeat scans
  • Interactive command creator for Nmap options
  • Compare saved scan results to spot changes
  • Searchable history of recent scans

Limitations

  • Depends on Nmap, which must also be installed
  • Intended for authorized testing of networks you own or may scan
