Nmap (Pete's notes)

First, use YAST to delete the version of nmap that came with SuSE.

Web to the Nmap home page. Click on Download. Save it in /usr/src.

(as root)
cd /usr/src
gunzip nmap-2.53.tgz
tar xf nmap-2.53.tar
rm nmap-2.53.tar
cd nmap-2.53
./configure
make
make install
make clean

The main doc is the man page, but there are some HTML files in the distribution:

To run nmap to ping-discover the 128.117.8.0 net, you'd do
(as root)
nmap -sP 128.117.8.0/24
