• -A
• -oA
• -sT
• -sV 

 

EXPLANATION

In the NMAP port scanner, you can save your portscan as a nmap file, xml file, and a gmap file . If you want to save your one of each you can use the -oA switch. The gmap file extension can come in handy as this is a grepable file. If you were going to scan a network with the command nmap -p-oA initial 10.0.0.0/24 you could use the grep command to find a host in the network utilizing a specific port. Perhaps your goal is to find FTP servers. In this case you might run the command grep output.gmap for the ftp service.
