Resources from this project
Archived resources from this project

This collection of resources, from the Cybersecurity Education for Advanced Manufacturing Organizations project, is a part of the nmap Scenario. This scenario is a training module that provides an introduction to nmap, a free, open-source software used in network functionality and network security. Topics covered include network discovery, security auditing, service mapping, and more. Upon completion of the scenario, students should be able to:

Describe TCP/I network communications
Discuss nmap host discovery
Discuss nmap port mapping
Discuss using nmap to identify target service and operating system data
Use nmap to perform network mapping

Collection Contents:

This scenario includes a PowerPoint presentation, best practices for learning, a scenario overview, lab instructions, lab questions and answers, and a document with a link to four corresponding video lessons. The presentation covers aspects of TCP/IP network connections, nmap host discovery, nmap port mapping, nmap target identification, and exporting nmap results.

The 3-page scenario overview includes a summary of the scenario, learning outcomes, a list of systems used, a description of the general lab, a diagram of setup and deploy, and a list of resources for more information. PDF and Word copies are included.

The 5-page lab includes a scenario overview, lab setup information, and lab instructions. The lab focuses on basic and advanced network scanning with nmap. Throughout the lab, students will learn "multiple methods for accessing common built-in nmap resources." Additionally, they will modify nmap's behavior using switches and observe how nmap can disrupt system functionality. PDF and Word copies are included.

The lab form includes six questions accompanied by a 7-page answer sheet. Both documents include PDF and Word copies.

The learning standards and best practices document includes education standards for target identification and analysis, and active scanning. PDF and Word copies are included.

For orientation purposes nmap-Overview.pdf is included as a separate attachment and offers a sample of the type of material included in this learning module.
