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 blue]-
http://nmap.org/book/zenmap.html]. Other documentation and
information is available from the Zenmap web page at blue]-
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 blue]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 blue]http://seclists.org/]. Read
this full manual page as well. If nothing comes of this,
mail a bug report to [email protected]. 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 [email protected] 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 blue]-
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.
