Some of the versions of Linux, known as Linux distributions, or more commonly shortened to “Linux distros,” will be easy enough to hop right in to using, while others could be your worst nightmare immediately upon installing it, such as Gentoo, which requires all programs, including the kernel, to be built from source.

Nmap stands for network mapper—it is an incredibly popular tool that is used to discover that is available to you. As with all of the tools provided to you within the Kali Linux distribution, this is free to use and secure. When you use Nmap, you are able to map out networks, allowing yourself to see inventories and find open ports as well. It is quite simple to use—it brings up a terminal that you are able to enter your commands and scripts within, allowing you to do whatever you would like within the system once you have gotten in.

This tool is able to work through firewalls and routers, it can bypass an IP filter, and it is able to navigate into systems. While it was designed to be capable of getting through massive networks, it can also be used on smaller scales as well. It is primarily used for port scanning, version detection, operating system detection, and using ping sweeps.
