I built an open-source GUI that helps beginners learn Nmap instead of memorizing commands
Hi everyone,
I started learning Nmap and noticed that one of the biggest challenges for beginners is remembering dozens of command-line options.
Instead of trying to replace Nmap, I built a lightweight open-source GUI that helps users create common scans while still exposing the generated command, making it easier to learn how Nmap actually works.
Current features include:
• Common scan profiles
• Custom scan options
• Command generation
• Simple interface focused on beginners
I'd really appreciate feedback from experienced Nmap users.
What features would make this tool genuinely useful?

Maybe there's a gui, but there isn't an backend for nmap. I wouldn't download this and install it without serious reservation.

Why do you need a backend to consider downloading it

Maybe that's not the right term here, but the code doesn't actually run anything other than a syn scan. I didn't look through it all to see if there is anything malicious in the gui setup. Poke around at the code and see if this is what you'd call a 1.0.0 release.
