Optimizing Nmap Performance
The aim of this video is to learn how to optimize Nmap’s performance to reduce scan time by fine-tuning its options. - The first step is to see how we can turn Nmap into a superfast scanner. - Then, we are going to talk about UDP port scanning, which always takes the most time. - Finally, we are going to talk about ways to defeat rate-limiting.
