You can specify timing templates with the -T option and their number (0–5) or their name. Timing templates makes it easy to make faster scans. And it`s nearly impossible for beginners to use these controls. In fact there is some other powerful and effective timing controls, but some people find them confusing. Nmap offers six different timing templates. But in Quick scan, some open ports can not seen. This is naturally far faster than scanning all 65,535 ports.Ĭompared to regular scan, scan time is shorter than quick scan. With -F, this is reduced to 100 most common ports those are used. Normally Nmap scans the most common 1,000 ports. With -F parameter, Nmap scans fewer ports than the default. Here we have two parameters to reduce scan time. Therefore you have to find something as soon as possible that more useful for you to exploit. Generally you don`t have much time for a penetration test in real life. When you scan a big network with lots of devices, time`ll very important for you.
Nmap -T4 -F 192.168.117.130 Zenmap Quick scanĪs you understand from the name, this is a quick scan and it reduce scan time.
