For the security competition, I am going to be working with the linux machine and trying to keep it secure, so I am going to learn how to use nmap as much as I can.

To install it, I'm following this install book.

I checked for nmap on my machine, which it has, but not the most updated version, so I am going to update it!

me:~$ nmap --version
Nmap version 6.00 ( http://nmap.org )
Platform: x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu
Compiled with: liblua-5.1.5 openssl-1.0.1e libpcre-8.30 libpcap-1.3.0 nmap-libdnet-1.12 ipv6
Compiled without:
me:~$ 

I downloaded the updated version from the download webpage and installed it.

me:~/Downloads$ ls
google-chrome-stable_current_amd64.deb  obmenu-1.0.tar.gz
nmap-6.40-1.x86_64.rpm
me:~/Downloads$ sudo alien nmap-6.40-1.x86_64.rpm 
nmap_6.40-2_amd64.deb generated
me:~/Downloads$ ls
google-chrome-stable_current_amd64.deb  nmap_6.40-2_amd64.deb
nmap-6.40-1.x86_64.rpm                  obmenu-1.0.tar.gz
me:~/Downloads$ sudo dpkg -i nmap_6.40-2_amd64.deb 
(Reading database ... 153471 files and directories currently installed.)

me:~/Downloads$ 

And it is now installed!
