DAY 2 · MODULE 3
Nmap Network Scanning
Learn what host discovery, port scanning and service detection reveal on an authorized lab target.
Understand the concept
Host discovery
Open/closed/filtered ports
Service detection
Version information
Scan interpretation
Scope safety
Why this matters
Nmap output is useful only when students can interpret what each state and service means and connect it to defensive action.

Stage 2 Interactive Lab
Open Interactive LabOperate this concept in a larger realtime simulation and save your practical score.
Perform the activity
- Study prepared Nmap output.
- Map open ports to services.
- Compare results with Day 1 port-scanner concepts.
- Execute Nmap only when the isolated lab target is available.
Workshop safety: Activities involving scanning, web vulnerabilities or security testing must be performed only on the assigned training target or intentionally vulnerable lab.
Read and understand the working example
Example lab syntax (authorized target only):
nmap -sV <assigned-lab-ip>This example is shown for guided learning. Real host/network execution is reserved for the isolated cyber-range stage.
Prove your understanding
Interpret a prepared Nmap result and identify which services require configuration review.
