In this section we review scan modes supported in the python-nmap module. We will learn how to detect the open ports of a system or network segment, as well as perform advanced operations to collect information about its target and detect vulnerabilities in the FTP service.

Nmap enables you to perform vulnerability assessments and exploitations as well, thanks to its powerful Lua script engine.
