Scan a single IP in NMAP

To scan a single IP address using Nmap (Network Mapper), you can use the following command:

nmap <IP_address>

Replace <IP_address> with the actual IP address you want to scan. For example:

nmap 192.168.1.100

This command will initiate a basic scan of the specified IP address, providing information about open ports, services running on those ports, and other details about the target system's network configuration. By default, Nmap performs a TCP SYN scan.

If you want to perform a more detailed scan or specify additional options, you can include them in the command. For example, to perform a more comprehensive scan with service version detection and operating system detection, you can use the following command:

nmap -A <IP_address>

Again, replace <IP_address> with the target IP address.

Remember that scanning systems without proper authorization may be illegal and unethical. Always ensure you have permission before scanning any network or system that you do not own or administer.
