Nmap is a core tool for security professionals. Lots of us know how to run basic Nmap scans, but we barely scratch the surface of what Nmap can do. The Nmap Scripting Engine gives us a huge amount of flexibility and power to create custom security checks. So let&#039;s take a look and learn the basics of NSE scripting. The presentation will cover: - Intro to the Nmap scripting engine - A look at the Lua scripting language - Core components of an NSE script - Write your Hello World NSE script - Create a functional, basic NSE script - Further resources Participants who want the most out of the presentation will want a laptop running Nmap and a text editor to follow along.
