nmap script

Nmap is a powerful network scanning tool that allows you to discover hosts and services on a computer network. It comes with a scripting engine that allows you to extend its functionality and perform more advanced tasks. Nmap scripts are small programs written in the Lua programming language and can be used to automate various network scanning tasks.

To use Nmap scripts, you need to specify the script name with the `-sC` option while running Nmap. For example, to use the default set of scripts, you can run:

nmap -sC <target>

This will run all the scripts in the default script category. Nmap also allows you to specify individual scripts or script categories to run. You can find a list of available scripts and categories in the Nmap Scripting Engine documentation.

Additionally, you can create your own custom Nmap scripts or modify existing ones to suit your specific needs. The NSE (Nmap Scripting Engine) documentation provides detailed information on how to write and use custom scripts.

It's important to note that Nmap scripts should be used responsibly and ethically, respecting the security and privacy of the target network.
