NAME

       nmapfe (xnmap) - GTK+ graphical frontend to the Nmap Security Scanner

SYNOPSIS

       nmapfe [ any Glib options such as --display ]

DESCRIPTION

       Nmapfe  (also known as xnmap) is a convenient X Window front end for the Nmap Security Scanner.	Most of the options correspond directly to
       Nmap options, which are described in detail in the Nmap man page.  We recommend you read that first.  There is also limited help  available
       via the NmapFE "Help" menu.

AUTHOR

       NmapFE was originally written by Zach Smith <key@aye.net>

       It is now maintained by Fyodor <fyodor@insecure.org>

       Feel free to write me ( fyodor@insecure.org ) with questions or bug reports.

DISTRIBUTION

       The newest version of nmapfe can be obtained from http://www.insecure.org/nmap/
