There's a famous quote:

  Those who cannot remember nmap are condemned to remake it poorly

Rootless nmap scan of a /24 in under 10 seconds:

  nmap -T5 -sn -PR --script broadcast-dns-service-discovery,broadcast-upnp-info 10.0.0.0/24
  …SNIP…
  Nmap done: 256 IP addresses (30 hosts up) scanned in 9.99 seconds

I like nmap and use it often. The linked tool seems to be doing different or additional things vs nmap.

What makes you think it’s not learning from/remembering nmap?

[mmh0000]

That nmap command does the same thing as the author's command, except for the UI, for which there are dozens of nmap-uis available.

But you've got to admit that OPs tool does it quicker, except if you like to memorize flags or already have a script specifically for this. And it's much nicer on the eye than most (all?) nmap-guis out of the box.

It does it quicker if you already have this tool installed. nmap is everywhere.

The goal has never been to create something that can replace nmap, the goal was to learn more about networking and about building TUIs in Go. Honestly I am quite overwhelmed by the amount of traction it got today, definitely not what I expected.

I am very grateful for all the feedback and suggestions, and I will take my time to evaluate every comment. In the coming weeks I will try to implement most of the feedback and do releases to improve the tool further, thanks everyone!
