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
       https://nmap.org/book/zenmap.html. Other documentation and information is available from
       the Zenmap web page at https://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 https://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 Adriano Monteiro
