-nmap is a utility for port scanning large networks, although it works fine
-for single hosts. The guiding philosophy for the creation of nmap was TMTOWTDI
-(There's More Than One Way To Do It). 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
-incorporates virtually every scanning technique known of.
+Nmap is a utility for network exploration or security auditing. It
+supports ping scanning (determine which hosts are up), many port
+scanning techniques, version detection (determine service protocols
+and application versions listening behind ports), and TCP/IP
+fingerprinting (remote host OS or device identification). Nmap also
+offers flexible target and port specification, decoy/stealth scanning,
+sunRPC scanning, and more.
