Course Overview

In today’s cybersecurity landscape, understanding how to gather network intelligence is a crucial skill for ethical hackers, penetration testers, and IT security professionals. With constantly evolving threats and increasingly complex infrastructures, the ability to map networks, detect vulnerabilities, and identify open ports and services has never been more critical. This is where Nmap (Network Mapper) comes in — a powerful, industry-standard tool used by security experts worldwide. 

This course is designed to equip you with everything you need to master Nmap from scratch to advanced techniques. You’ll not only learn the technical foundations of networks, ports, protocols, and scanning methods but also dive deep into real-world tactics, such as evading firewalls, discovering hidden hosts, and using the powerful Nmap Scripting Engine (NSE) for advanced tasks. Whether you're a beginner looking to understand the basics or a security professional wanting to optimize your reconnaissance process and perform stealthy, intelligent scans, this course will help you develop practical, hands-on skills.  

In a world where reconnaissance is the first step in both defending and attacking networks, mastering Nmap is an indispensable asset for anyone serious about cybersecurity in 2025 and beyond.
