100 Points
Learning Objectives

These instructions will show you how to run Zenmap on a Raspberry Pi.
This software is a GUI for nmap, a network security scanner.

More information on Zenmap is available online.
Being able to use this software will enable you to understand network operations and security issues.

After completing this assignment you will be able to:

  1. Discuss uses of Zenmap on a Raspberry Pi
  2. Run Zenmap
  3. Conduct basic network security scans on the WSU guest network
Assignment Overview
This assignment reviews basic computer concepts that you will need in this course and throughout your career.

You are expected to have a working knowledge of SBC hardware and software.
If you do not understand how to use an item, perform a Google Search, refer to the WSU Technology Knowledge Base,  ask a teaching assistant, or ask the instructor.

Exercise 1-Run Zenmap as SU
  1. These steps are performed on the Raspberry Pi.
  2. Locate and right-click Zenmap in the RPi menu under 'Internet', then select 'Properites'
  3. Select the Desktop Entry tab, and add sudo to the front of the Command: statement

    ZenMap start settingsStart Zenmap as SU

  4. Click OK
  5. From the menu select Internet>Zenmap to start it
  6. Note-you can also select Internet>Zenmap(as root) to start Zenmap
Exercise 2-Run Zenmap

ref: Zenmap User's Guide

  1. These steps are performed on your Raspberry Pi.
  2. Find the IP address of your Raspberry Pi
  3. Assuming an IP address of 10.20.85.xxx, enter the following into the Zenmap 'Target:'
    10.20.85.0/24
    This will allow you to scan the subnet.

  4. From the 'Profile:' list choose and run various scans by pressing the Scan button.
    Review the results.
Exercise 3-ScreenShot

Run an 'Intense scan' of your WSU Guest subnet and take a screenshot of the results to document your work.
Note: this can be done using the Snipping Tool if you are running VNC, or use the scrot command if you are connected to the Raspberry Pi with a keyboard and mouse.

  1. On the Raspberry Pi, position the browser window next to your name on the desktop.
  2. Take a screenshot.

Exercise 4-Reflections

Based on your experience in this exercise, consider the value of Zenmap/nmap for organizations, especially the Information Technology staff.
Think about what type of problems a Raspberry Pi equipped network scanner could solve, and whether it could be cost-effective.
Businesses are deploying IoT 'solutions'-how can ZenMap equipped Raspberry Pis support or automate these efforts?
