VisitNaabu vs Nmap
What both publish
| Fact | Naabu | Nmap |
|---|---|---|
| Discovery | Features include DNS port scanning, experimental host discovery, IPv4/IPv6 scanning and passive port enumeration using Shodan InternetDB. | It uses raw IP packets to identify available hosts, services and versions, operating systems, and packet filters or firewalls. |
| Integrations | It integrates with Nmap for service discovery and can pipe discovered ports to ProjectDiscovery's httpx tool. | For OEM integration, the project recommends running Nmap and parsing its XML-formatted output, and also permits other approaches such as parsing normal output or processing its data files. |
| Purpose | Naabu is a Go port scanner that enumerates valid ports on hosts quickly and reliably. | Nmap is a free and open-source utility for network discovery and security auditing. |
| Scanning | It supports fast SYN, CONNECT, and UDP probe-based scanning. | Nmap supports TCP and UDP port scanning, OS detection, version detection, and ping sweeps. |
| Support | The repository links to the ProjectDiscovery Discord community. | The free version has no warranty and is supported by a community, while active OEM maintenance subscriptions include commercial technical support. |
