1. What is Nmap ?
Nmap, short for Network Mapper, is a free, open-source tool for vulnerability
scanning and network discovery. Network administrators use Nmap to identify
what devices are running on their systems, discovering hosts that are available
and the services they offer, finding open ports and detecting security risks.

For this tutorial I'll use the HackTheBox machine called "Blue" because i can't
scan a website or something like because it's not very legal… So you got 2
ways to lunch a scan.
First you can lunch an nmap scan with the ip that you want to test like this.
Or you can lunch an nmap scan with the url of a website.
Now let's have more information about the IP or URL.
3. The -sC argument :
These scripts are the default set and are run when using the -sC or -A options
rather than listing scripts with --script. This category can also be specified
explicitly like any other
using --script=default.
As you can see we have some information about the OS running on a port but
for the moment we don't have all services discover so let's dig more deeper !
4. The -sV argument :
Besides determining the state a TCP/UDP port, nmap can also try to figure out
which service is listening on that port. This is done by sending different
requests to the port, and analyzing the replies. This feature is called service
detection, and is activated with option -sV or you can use the
-A. ( the argument -A is the ~combination of the -sV and the -sC arguments ).
As you can see after that we have all services running behind every port !
So now let's try the argument -A :
We can see that the argument -A is a combination of the -sC and the -sV but
with a little things plus, we have the tcp/ip fingerprint and the TraceRoute.
5. The vulnerable script
