Zenmap
Zenmap is the official graphical user interface for Nmap, the popular network discovery and security auditing tool. It provides a user-friendly way to run network scans, visualize scan results, and analyze network topology without needing to use command-line interface. Network administrators, security professionals, and IT technicians use Zenmap to discover hosts and services on computer networks, identify open ports, detect security vulnerabilities, and map network infrastructure. The tool offers preset scan profiles for different purposes and presents results in an easy-to-read format with network topology maps.
Suggested Replacements
1 suggestionZenmap appears to be in a problematic state for macOS users. While Homebrew shows a recent version 7.99 available, it's marked as deprecated due to failing macOS Gatekeeper security checks, which means it likely won't run properly on modern macOS versions. The underlying Nmap tool itself is actively maintained and has native Apple Silicon support, but the Zenmap GUI appears to have compatibility issues. For users who need the graphical interface, consider using Nmap directly via Terminal (which has full Apple Silicon support) or switching to alternative network scanning tools like Angry IP Scanner or LanScan that offer native macOS compatibility. If you specifically need Zenmap's visualization features, monitor the official Nmap project for updates, though GUI development appears to have lower priority than the core Nmap engine.
