Nmap for macOS

What is Nmap?

Nmap maps network hosts and the services they expose. Administrators can use it for network inventory, port inspection and security auditing, with options for service-version and operating-system detection. It works from the command line; the included Zenmap interface adds reusable scan profiles and saved results that can be opened or compared later.

This download is the publisher's Nmap 7.993 disk image for x86-64 macOS. The publisher lists Nmap, Zenmap, Ncat and Ndiff as installer components and says the programs have been tested on Mac OS X 10.9 and later. That statement is publisher documentation, not a compatibility test performed for this entry; native Apple Silicon support is not established for this package.

Most raw-packet scan techniques require root privileges on Unix systems, including macOS. Filtered ports can also remain ambiguous: a firewall may prevent Nmap from determining whether a service is listening. The screenshot is a historical publisher example of the cross-platform Zenmap interface showing Nmap 4.50 output, not a capture of version 7.993 running on a current Mac.
