ANmap is an android tool that you can use on a network to determine available hosts, services, operating system versions, types of packet filters/firewalls and other characteristics. It is an incredibly useful tool for hackers (ethical or unethical).
Today I’m going to give you a step by step guide on how to use android Nmap to identify open ports and other server or host characteristics.
Before going onto the how-to section, take a look at the requirements your device must have to use aNmap:
- The device must have root access. (You can run the app without root access, but some features will not work)
- SuperSU/Busybox/SuperUser.
Let’s start!
How To Use aNmap:
1. Download aNmap [MediaFire Link]
2. Install it on your device.
3. Run it. You will see a window like this:
4. Grant root access, then you will see the main page of aNmap:

If you don’t know how to find the IP address of a particular website, don’t worry, I will show you how. First, open the command prompt and then type “tracert” without quotes. Then enter the address of the website and hit the enter key, you will see something like this:
You can find the IP address of the website next to where it says “Tracing route to <the website>”.
