Installing Nmap on Windows
Step 1
Download the Windows version of Nmap from www.nmap.org.
Step 2
Launch the Nmap setup program. Select the default installation (recommended)
which will install the entire Nmap suite of utilities.
Step 3
During installation, a helper program called WinPcap will also be installed. WinPcap
is required for Nmap to function properly on the Windows platform so do not skip
this step.
Step 4
After the WinPcap installation has completed you are given the option to configure
its service settings. The default options will enable the WinPcap service to start
when Windows boots. This is recommended as Nmap will not function correctly
when the WinPcap service is not running.
Step 5
Once Nmap has been successfully installed you can verify it is working correctly by
executing nmap scanme.insecure.org on the command line (located in Start >
Programs > Accessories > Command Prompt).
