How to install NMAP in Termux

What is Nmap ?

Nmap (Network Mapper) is a free and open-source security scanner, originally written byGordon Lyon (also known by his pseudonymFyodor Vaskovich), used to discover hostsand services on a computer network, thus building a "map" of the network. To accomplish its goal, Nmap sends specially crafted packets to the target host(s) and then analyzes the responses.

Nmap features :

Host discovery – Identifying hosts on a network. For example, listing the hosts that respond to TCP and/or ICMP requests or have a particular port open.

Port scanning – Enumerating the openports on target hosts.
Version detection – Interrogating network services on remote devices to determine application name and version number. 

OS detection – Determining the operating system and hardware characteristics of network devices.

Scriptable interaction with the target – using Nmap Scripting Engine (NSE) andLua programming language.

Nmap can provide further information on targets, including reverse DNS names, device types, and MAC addresses.

Uses of Nmap :

Auditing the security of a device or firewallby identifying the network connections which can be made to, or through it.

Identifying open ports on a target host in preparation for auditing.

Network inventory, network mapping, maintenance and asset management.

Auditing the security of a network by identifying new servers.

Generating traffic to hosts on a network, response analysis and response time measurement.

Finding and exploiting vulnerabilities in a network. DNS queries and subdomain search
