ZMap is a fast single packet network scanner designed for Internet-wide network surveys. On a typical desktop computer with a gigabit Ethernet connection, ZMap is capable scanning the entire public IPv4 address space in under 45 minutes. With a 10gigE connection and PF_RING, ZMap can scan the IPv4 address space in under 5 minutes.
ZMap operates on GNU/Linux, macOS, and BSD. ZMap currently has full implemented probe modules for TCP SYN scans, ICMP, DNS queries, UPnP, BACNET, and can send a large number of UDP probes. If you are looking to do more involved scans, e.g., banner grab or TLS handshake, take a look at ZGrab, ZMap's sister project that performs application-layer handshakes.
The latest stable release of ZMap is version 2.1.1 and supports Linux, macOS, and BSD. It can be installed through the built-in package managers on the following operating systems:
| OS | |
|---|---|
| Debian or Ubuntu | sudo apt install zmap |
| Fedora, CentOS, and RHEL | sudo yum install zmap |
| Gentoo | sudo emerge zmap |
| macOS (using Homebrew) | brew install zmap |
| Arch Linux | sudo pacman -S zmap |
Instructions on building ZMap from source can be found in INSTALL.
A guide to using ZMap is found in our GitHub Wiki.
We added IPv6 support to ZMap and include the following new probe modules:
- ICMPv6 Echo Request
- IPv6 TCP SYN (any port)
- IPV6 UDP (any port and payload)
More information and access to our IPv6 hitlist is available on our website.
