-nmap is a utility for port scanning large networks, although it works fine
-for single hosts. The guiding philosophy for the creation of nmap was TMTOWTDI
-(There's More Than One Way To Do It). Sometimes you need speed, other times
-you may need stealth. In some cases, bypassing firewalls may be required. Not
-to mention the fact that you may want to scan different protocols (UDP, TCP,
-ICMP, etc.). You just can't do all this with one scanning mode. Thus nmap
-incorporats virtually every scanning technique known of.
+nmapfe is a GUI front end for the nmap port scanning tool.
