Select Nmap

Type 0 to select Nmap:
Choose a tool to proceed: 0
HackingTool will:
  1. Check if Nmap is already installed
  2. Download and install Nmap if needed
  3. Display installation status
Most tools are cloned from GitHub repositories and installed automatically with their dependencies.
4

Verify Installation

After installation, you can verify Nmap is working:
nmap --version
Expected output:
Nmap version 7.94 ( https://nmap.org )
Platform: x86_64-pc-linux-gnu
Compiled with: liblua-5.3.6 openssl-3.0.11

​
Running Your First Scan

Now that Nmap is installed, let’s perform a basic network scan:
Legal Notice: Only scan networks and systems you own or have explicit permission to test. Unauthorized scanning is illegal.
1

Scan Your Local Network

Identify devices on your local network:
sudo nmap -sn 192.168.1.0/24
Example Output:
Starting Nmap 7.94 ( https://nmap.org )
Nmap scan report for 192.168.1.1
Host is up (0.0012s latency).
MAC Address: AA:BB:CC:DD:EE:FF (Router Manufacturer)

Nmap scan report for 192.168.1.100
Host is up (0.023s latency).
MAC Address: 11:22:33:44:55:66 (Device Manufacturer)

Nmap done: 256 IP addresses (12 hosts up) scanned in 3.45 seconds
2

Perform a Port Scan

Scan common ports on a specific host:
sudo nmap -sV 192.168.1.100
Example Output:
Starting Nmap 7.94 ( https://nmap.org )
Nmap scan report for 192.168.1.100
Host is up (0.00055s latency).
Not shown: 997 closed ports
PORT    STATE SERVICE VERSION
22/tcp  open  ssh     OpenSSH 8.9p1 Ubuntu 3ubuntu0.1
80/tcp  open  http    Apache httpd 2.4.52
443/tcp open  ssl/http Apache httpd 2.4.52

Service detection performed. Please report any incorrect results.
Nmap done: 1 IP address (1 host up) scanned in 6.78 seconds
3

Save Scan Results

Export results to a file for documentation:
sudo nmap -sV -oN scan_results.txt 192.168.1.100
This creates scan_results.txt with the full scan output.

​
Common Workflows

​
Workflow 1: Reconnaissance Phase

1

Enable Anonymity

Category 0 → Anonsurf
anonsurf start
2

Gather Target Information

Category 1 → Nmap, ReconDog, or RED HAWK for initial recon
3

Enumerate Subdomains

Category 6 → Sublist3r for subdomain discovery
4

Search for Vulnerabilities

Category 4 → SQLMap for SQL injection testing Category 14 → XSStrike for XSS vulnerabilities

​
Workflow 2: Password Testing

1

Generate Wordlist

Category 2 → Cupp (Common User Passwords Profiler)
cupp -i  # Interactive mode
2

Use Wordlist

Apply the generated wordlist to brute force tools in Category 16

​
Workflow 3: Wireless Security Testing

1

Monitor Mode

Enable monitor mode on your wireless adapter
2

Launch Wifite

Category 3 → Wifite for automated WiFi attacks
sudo wifite
3

Capture Handshakes

Wifite automatically captures WPA handshakes
4

Crack Passwords

Use captured handshakes with wordlists from Category 2

​
Troubleshooting

Problem: Git clone or installation errorsSolutions:
  1. Check internet connectivity: ping github.com
  2. Verify you have git installed: git --version
  3. Ensure sufficient disk space: df -h
  4. Try manually cloning: cd /home/hackingtool && git clone [tool-url]
Problem: Command not found after installationSolutions:
  1. Navigate to tool directory: cd /home/hackingtool/[tool-name]
  2. Run directly: python3 tool.py or ./tool.sh
  3. Check dependencies: pip3 install -r requirements.txt
  4. Verify permissions: chmod +x tool.sh
Problem: Cannot write to directories or execute toolsSolution: Always run HackingTool with sudo:
sudo hackingtool

​
Best Practices

Always Get Authorization

Only test systems you own or have written permission to assess

Document Everything

Keep logs of all scans and tests for reporting

Use Anonymity Tools

Enable Anonsurf or VPN before testing (where appropriate)

Stay Updated

Regularly update HackingTool (option 99) for latest tools

Test in Lab First

Practice on your own lab environment before real assessments

Understand Each Tool

Read tool documentation before use - don’t run blind
