Unable to locate package nmap

Pintasdrum 2 years, 6 months ago

Hi guys, I was following a youtube video to try to check vulnerabilities on my home network using nmap scan.
I created the Linux server to be able to do it but when I do command 'apt install nmap -y' is does not install.
(E: unable to locate package nmap)

Anyone can help how to solve this?

See:

for Ubuntu. See:

https://packages.debian.org/stable/nmap

for Debian.

Try running 'apt update' and see what packages your installation may be missing. I did, now nmap is available.
