nmap is a utility for port scanning large networks

Sometimes you need speed, other times you may need stealth. In some cases,
bypassing firewalls may be required. Not to mention the fact that you may
want to scan different protocols (UDP, TCP, ICMP, etc.).
You just can't do all this with one scanning mode.  Thus nmap
incorporats virtually every scanning technique known of.

+.Sh NAME
+.Nm nmap
+.Nd network port scanner
+.Sh SYNOPSIS
+.Nm nmap
+.Op Ar options
+.Ar hostname
+.Op Ar /mask
+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+.Nm
+is a utility for port scanning large networks, although it works fine for
+single hosts. The guiding philosophy for the creation of 
+.Nm
+was TMTOWTDI (There's More Than One Way To Do It). This is the Perl slogan, but
+it is equally applicable to scanners. Sometimes you need speed, other times you
+may need stealth. In some cases, bypassing firewalls may be required. Not to
+mention the fact that you may want to scan different protocols (UDP, TCP, ICMP,
+etc.). You just can't do all this with one scanning mode. And you don't want to
+have 10 different scanners around, all with different interfaces and
+capabilities. Thus
+.Nm 
+incorporats virtually every scanning technique known.
+Specifically, 
+.Nm 
+supports:
+
+      Vanilla TCP connect() scanning, 
+      TCP SYN (half open) scanning, 
+      TCP FIN (stealth) scanning, 
+      TCP ftp proxy (bounce attack) scanning 
+      SYN/FIN scanning using IP fragments (bypasses packet filters), 
+      UDP recvfrom() scanning, 
+      UDP raw ICMP port unreachable scanning, 
+      ICMP scanning (ping-sweep), and 
+      Reverse-ident scanning. 
+
+.Nm
+also supports a number of performance and reliability features such as dynamic
+delay time calculations, packet timeout and retransmission, parallel port
+scanning, detection of down hosts via parallel pings, and flexible target and
+port specification.
