This report evaluates cybersecurity tools, specifically focusing on Nmap and OpenSSL within the Kali Linux environment. It begins with an introduction to the increasing prevalence of cyber-attacks and the importance of robust security measures. The report then provides detailed descriptions of Nmap, a network scanning tool, and OpenSSL, a cryptography library, highlighting their functionalities and characteristics. The core of the report involves demonstrating the tools' roles in cybersecurity, including port scanning and key generation. A scenario description illustrates the practical application of Nmap for discovering open ports and potential vulnerabilities, along with screenshots to provide evidence of its execution. The report also covers the usage of OpenSSL for key generation and securing data. Finally, an evaluation section assesses the benefits and effectiveness of these tools in enhancing network security, concluding with references to support the findings. This report is a comprehensive examination of how these tools can be used to assess and improve network security.
