How to do a network IP range scan with NMAP

First of all you need to install NMAP which you can do from this website

After running the NMAP installer you should restart your shell.

You can do a network ip range scan like this

nmap -sP 192.168.2.0/24

This wil scan the whole ip range of 192.168.2.0 to 192.168.2.255

If you want to specify a range like 192.168.2.1 to 192.168.2.200

nmap -sP 192.168.2.1-200

This will take a while. This is an example of the result you’ll get

Or if you are on a mac you could just download the LanScan application to do this 🙂

You can download LanScan here

Hello Steven, Did you ever use Zenmap, the GUI version of NMAP. if yes, what are the challenges you faced while using it and can you name any two recommendations to improve the zenmap tool?.
