How to solve the Lab exercice 3.3.1.9 Detecting Threats and Vulnerabilities

Objectives: Use Nmap, a port scanner and network mapping tool to detect threats and vulnerabilities on a system.

Background / Scenario: Network Mapper, or Nmap, is an open source utility used for network discovery and security auditing. Administrators also use Nmap for monitoring hosts or managing service upgrade schedules. Nmap determines what hosts are available on a network, what services are running, what operating systems are running, and what packet filters or firewalls are running.
