Nmap/Kindle
Since Nmap is already ported to ARM architecture including Android, you can successfully compile and run latest versions of Nmap on Amazon Kindle. No source patches were needed. It was tested on Kindle 3, but we got reports it works on Kindle Fire (5th generation) too.

Download
Already compiled versions of Nmap with OpenSSL support, you can download at: http://ftp.linux.hr/kindle/
With latest version available at: http://ftp.linux.hr/kindle/nmap-5.61TEST4-kindle-bin.tar.bz2
Install
extract nmap-5.61TEST4-kindle-bin.tar.bz2 to opt directory of the root of storage location. That means /mnt/us/opt
cd /mnt/us/opt tar xvjf nmap-5.61TEST4-kindle-bin.tar.bz2
check that you have following directory structure: /mnt/us/opt/nmap-5.61TEST4
ls /mnt/us/opt/nmap-5.61TEST4
run nmap
/mnt/us/opt/nmap-5.61TEST4/bin/nmap 127.0.0.1 </nowiki>
Tips
If you’re not familar, few usual tips. Thanks to various Kindle enthusiasts it is possible to get shell terminal directly on Kindle, so you can run nmap directly from Kindle (you can also run it through ssh – of course!). Take a look at Amazon Liberation Project, specifically this blog post: http://blog.rot13.org/2011/12/liberate-your-kindle-3-and-get-full-screen-terminal.html
Compilation
Download appropriate scratchbox for kindle
run configure ac_cv_linux_vers=2 ./configure --host=arm-none-linux --prefix=/mnt/us/opt/nmap-5.61TEST4 --enable-static --without-zenmap --with-pcap=linux --with-liblua=included --with-libpcap=internal make make install
that’s it
