-p port ranges (Only scan specified ports) .
This option specifies which ports you want to scan and overrides the default. Individual port numbers
are OK, as are ranges separated by a hyphen (e.g. 1-1023). The beginning and/or end values of a
range may be omitted, causing Nmap to use 1 and 65535, respectively. So you can specify -p- to scan
ports from 1 through 65535. Scanning port zero. is allowed if you specify it explicitly. For IP
protocol scanning (-sO), this option specifies the protocol numbers you wish to scan for (0–255).
When scanning both TCP and UDP ports, you can specify a particular protocol by preceding the port
numbers by T: or U:. The qualifier lasts until you specify another qualifier. For example, the
argument -p U:53,111,137,T:21-25,80,139,8080 would scan UDP ports 53, 111,and 137, as well as the
listed TCP ports. Note that to scan both UDP and TCP, you have to specify -sU and at least one TCP
scan type (such as -sS, -sF, or -sT). If no protocol qualifier is given, the port numbers are added
to all protocol lists. Ports can also be specified by name according to what the port is referred to
in the nmap-services. You can even use the wildcards * and ? with the names. For example, to scan FTP
and all ports whose names begin with “http”, use -p ftp,http*. Be careful about shell expansions and
quote the argument to -p if unsure.
Ranges of ports can be surrounded by square brackets to indicate ports inside that range that appear
in nmap-services. For example, the following will scan all ports in nmap-services equal to or below
1024: -p [-1024]. Be careful with shell expansions and quote the argument to -p if unsure.
