It was originally derived + from Umit, an Nmap GUI created as part of the Google Summer of Code. + + The project goal is to develop an Nmap frontend that is really useful + for advanced users and easy to be used by newbies. With Zenmap, a + network admin can create scan profiles for faster and easier network + scanning and even compare scan results to easily see any changes. New + users can also construct powerful scans with Zenmap profile editor. + +Installation + + Zenmap is available for multiple platforms. It has been successfully + tested on the following platforms/flavors: + * Ubuntu + * Red Hat Enterprise Linux + * OpenBSD + * Microsoft Windows + * Apple macOS + + The installation instructions are somewhat different for each + platform. + +Default (source) Installation + + Zenmap is distributed as part of Nmap. Zenmap is installed along with + Nmap if its dependencies are installed and Nmap was not configured + with --without-zenmap. + + The list of required software follows: + * [1]Python 3.0 or higher + * [2]GTK 3.0 or higher + * [3]PyGObject 3.0 or higher + * [4]Nmap itself and its requirements + + Zenmap's source package are provided in such a way that, if you have + all the required software, it will run 'out-of-the-tarball'. To run + the program without installing it, after unpacking the source + distribution do one of the following: + * Double click the zenmap file + * Call the Python interpreter on the zenmap file + + Zenmap is packaged using Python distutils. To install Zenmap + independently of Nmap, enter the zenmap subdirectory and run + python setup.py install + +Links: + +[1] Python official website - https://www.python.org +[2] GTK official website - https://www.gtk.org +[3] PyGobject official website - https://pygobject.readthedocs.io/en/latest/index.html +[4] Nmap official website - https://nmap.org +[7] Umit Summer of Code summary - https://seclists.org/nmap-dev/2007/q4/35 |
