The Network Mapper (Nmap) utility can do the following tasks:

1. Target Enumeration (-sL): Enumerating a target specification (simply listing targets to scan).
2. Host Discovery (-sn): Discovering live hosts
3. Port Scan: Identifying services provisioned

If none is specified, nmap will do all the above.
