Great Tool For Network Security Auditing

I like how easy it was for me as an amateur researcher, but also very experienced in network security (20+ years)to use this tool quickly without having much knowledge about what i am looking at or where my target devices are located geographically.

Honestly though if you have any experience with networking your not going need help from someone who doesn't know anything either - its basically self explanatory once you get used to working through all features available- just make sure there's some sorta tutorial online somewhere! The best thing so far has been finding targets which were previously unknown by myself because they had no IP address assigned them via DHCP/DNS services etc. Some people will be turned off after seeing their first "target" result however, many others enjoy discovering new things even when they're not doing malicious activity themselves.- Finding hosts within networks.
