The system vulnerabilities are known as it in real world communication of the systems happen through the ports and interfacing devices which the systems are running [8]. One of the first things to be done after getting access to the Smart Home Network is scanning, which is done using network scanning using NMap. So, a picture is created of the network topology taken and finds out that machines were connected with operating system work, which ports are open, and which vulnerabilities may exist. Network mapper (NMap) is an open source and free security scanner used to detect network and security audits. During scanning, NMap sends specially created packages to the target host and then analyzes the responses. Network scanning with this security tool and open code scanner can therefore detect what a hacker can detect and allow us to notice it. Un authorized network devices were connected with the network, should not open the devices with open ports and no users are running un-authorized services and no users working as un authorized either globally or device itself. The scripts are running for scanning the famous vulnerabilities and permit for finding the known vulnerabilities over the infrastructure before a hacker does. NMap applies raw Internet Packets in new ways for determining which hosts are available on the network, what services are offered by the hosts, operating systems, which type of filter/firewall package you are using, and dozens of other features. It is designed for fast scanning large networks, but it works fine for single hosts [27].

Nmap sends specially crafted packets in order to determine which devices are active on the network, the services and their version running on these devices, their operating system and what kind of security measures are deployed in the network (IP/packets filtering, firewalls, etc.). Furthermore, nmap's capabilities can be extended through the usage of the Nmap Scripting Engine (NSE), which is a collection of scripts for vulnerability scanning, default credentials detection, advanced service detection, and many more. All of the above are supported by a large community and updated regularly. NSE allows integration of custom-made scripts written using the LUA language11 in the nmap functionality and can be plugged into the processes of network discovery (to provide more information about existing network elements), version detection (for more elaborate version identification), vulnerability detection (leveraging the basic capabilities bundled into nmap), and backdoor detection (for more sophisticated detection of backdoors). NSE can be also used to perform vulnerability exploitation, a feature typically used in penetration testing.

There is an open source utility for network discovery and security auditing, called Nmap (Network Mapper) [21]. Apart from systems and network administrators, cyber criminals also find it useful for: Network inventoryManagement of service upgrade schedulesMonitoring host or service

Figure 1 shows the proposed framework. We collected metadata for the IPs by port-scanning them using nmap [19]. Nmap (Network Mapper) is a security scanner tool used to discover hosts and services on a computer network, thus building a ‘map’ of the network. We use nmap tools with service and OS detection, which gave us a list of the possible OS that was being used on those targets, along with open ports and services.

- Nmap (Network Mapper) is a network scanner for exploring a target network or system. It can be used to determine the devices and hosts connected on a computer network, what applications they are running (e.g., during port scanning), their operating system and if there are any firewalls in use. This scan reveals information about the target system(s).
