Well frankly nmap is not IMHO script kiddie program. It is almost the best network scanner there is, if you don´t count commercial scanners.

If you don´t have nmap go and download one Nmap for *nixies can be downloaded from there http://www.insecure.org/nmap/nmap_download.html and for nt http://www.eeye.com/html/Research/Tools/nmapnt.html

There are better scanners than nmap in commercial sites, like ISS Security Scanner (you can´t download this for evaluation) great tool i use it a lot in work, also i should mention ISS internet scanner (you can download the evaluation version from here https://www.iss.net/cgi-bin/download...ion-select.cgi and www.eeye.com has many good programs.
