Exclude Targets from a Scan
The --exclude option is used with Nmap to exclude hosts from a scan.
Usage syntax: nmap [targets] --exclude [target(s)]
The --exclude option is useful if you want to exclude specific hosts when scanning a
large number of addresses. In the example above host 192.168.10.100 is excluded
from the range of targets being scanned.
The --exclude option accepts single hosts, ranges, or entire network blocks (using
CIDR notation) as demonstrated in the next example.
