# NMAP Server

> Use this tool when you need to perform network scanning operations to identify open ports, detect operating systems, and discover hosts on a network. It solves problems related to network security, vulnerability assessment, and system administration by providing detailed information about network topology and potential vulnerabilities. The NMAP Server takes network IP addresses or ranges as input and outputs comprehensive scan results, making it ideal for use cases such as penetration testing, network auditing, and security monitoring.
