-# Nmap aliases plugin
+# Nmap plugin
 
-Adds some useful aliases for nmap similar to the profiles in zenmap.
+Adds some useful aliases for [Nmap](https://nmap.org/) similar to the profiles in zenmap.
 
-Nmap options are:
- * -sS - TCP SYN scan
- * -v - verbose
- * -T1 - timing of scan. Options are paranoid (0), sneaky (1), polite (2), normal (3), aggressive (4), and insane (5)
- * -sF - FIN scan (can sneak through non-stateful firewalls)
- * -PE - ICMP echo discovery probe
- * -PP - timestamp discovery probe
- * -PY - SCTP init ping
- * -g - use given number as source port
- * -A - enable OS detection, version detection, script scanning, and traceroute (aggressive)
- * -O - enable OS detection
- * -sA - TCP ACK scan
- * -F - fast scan
- * --script=vulscan - also access vulnerabilities in target
+To use it, add `nmap` to the plugins array in your zshrc file:
 
-## Aliases explained
+```zsh
+plugins=(... nmap)
+```
 
- * nmap_open_ports - Scan for open ports on target
- * nmap_list_interfaces - List all network interfaces on host where the command runs
- * nmap_slow - Slow scan that avoids to spam the targets logs
- * nmap_fin - Scan to see if hosts are up with TCP FIN scan
- * nmap_full - Aggressive full scan that scans all ports, tries to determine OS and service versions
- * nmap_check_for_firewall - TCP ACK scan to check for firewall existence
- * nmap_ping_through_firewall - Host discovery with SYN and ACK probes instead of just pings to avoid firewall
-   restrictions
- * nmap_fast - Fast scan of the top 300 popular ports
- * nmap_detect_versions - Detects versions of services and OS, runs on all ports
- * nmap_check_for_vulns - Uses vulscan script to check target services for vulnerabilities
- * nmap_full_udp - Same as full but via UDP
- * nmap_traceroute - Try to traceroute using the most common ports
- * nmap_full_with_scripts - Same as nmap_full but also runs all the scripts
- * nmap_web_safe_osscan - Little "safer" scan for OS version  as connecting to only HTTP and HTTPS ports doesn't look so attacking.
