Identifying services


Another useful piece of functionality that nmap provides is the ability to identify services by attempting to grab application banners or issue various types of known requests and determine the service based upon how it responds.

How to do it…

Use –sV to probe for service/version information:

$ nmap 10.0.0.10 -sV

Starting Nmap 6.40 ( http://nmap.org ) at 2016-05-08 16:15 EDT
Nmap scan report for 10.0.0.10
Host is up (0.0016s latency).

25/tcp  open  smtp    Postfix smtpd
