Introduction Zenmap is a multi-platform graphical Nmap frontend and results viewer. Zenmap is developed in the Python programming language, and its interface is built with the GTK Toolkit. 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 5.04 Hoary Hedgeog * Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4 * OpenBSD 3.7 * Microsoft Windows 2000 * Microsoft Windows XP * Apple MacOS X 10.4 (Tiger) 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 2.4 or higher * [2]GTK+ 2.6 or higher * [3]PyGTK 2.6 or higher * [4]Nmap itself and its requirements * [5]PySQLite2 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 - http://www.python.org [2] GTK official website - http://www.gtk.org [3] PyGTK official website - http://www.pygtk.org [4] Nmap official website - http://nmap.org [5] PySQLite2 official website - http://initd.org/tracker/pysqlite [7] Umit website - http://umit.sourceforge.net
