Saving the Results#

Different Formats#

Nmap can save the results in 3 different formats.

• Normal output (-oN) with the .nmap file extension
• Grepable output (-oG) with the .gnmap file extension
• XML output (-oX) with the .xml file extension

sudo nmap 10.10.10.63 -p- -oA target

Style sheets#

With the XML output, we can easily create HTML reports that are easy to read, even for non-technical people. This is later very useful for documentation, as it presents our results in a detailed and clear way. To convert the stored results from XML format to HTML, we can use the tool xsltproc.

xsltproc target.xml -o target.html
