Discovery

Using the Discovery Tool​

  1. Go to Administration > Discovery.

  2. Set up the configuration or use the default values.

    • Targets (required) – the list of target IP addresses or hostnames for scanning; /<numbits> can be appended to an IPv4 address or hostname (e.g., 10.32.0.0/20) to scan a whole network of adjacent hosts; the targets can be separated by comma.

    • Services (required) – the list of service names to discover, separated by comma

      note

      The nmap-services file contains the supported service names. This is located in the nmap folder under the bin directory of the discovery tool installation directory (e.g., C:\Program Files\OpeniT\Core\ReportingServer\html\OpeniT\discoverytool\bin\nmap\).

    • Ports (optional) – the ports to scan on every target; ports can be separated by comma while port ranges can be separated by a hyphen; if not specified, nmap scans the most common 1,000 ports for each protocol.

    • State (optional) – the state of the port of the service to discover; the following values are accepted:

      • open – an application on the target machine is listening on that port
      • closed – no application is listening on the port
      • filtered – a firewall or filter is blocking the port
      • unfiltered – port is responsive but cannot be determined if open or closed

    • Nmap args (optional) – nmap options to use in scanning the network; it is recommended to use the default value.

  3. Click Start. A notification will appear beside the Start button if the scan is still running or already finished.

  4. Click the link for the generated report beside the Latest Results.
    A table of the Previous Results will be available for a historical view of the generated reports.
