Detecting Synology NAS with nmap

Submitted by on May 29, 2015 – 3:07 pm

Just a quick note for myself on how to find Synology NAS servers on the network without having to use the bulky Windows utility that ships with these systems.

nmap 192.168.1.1-254 -p 5000 | grep -B3 open

And you should see something along the lines of:
Nmap scan report for syno01 (192.168.1.21)
Host is up (0.00050s latency).
PORT     STATE SERVICE
5000/tcp open  upnp
--
Nmap scan report for syno02 (192.168.1.26)
Host is up (0.00020s latency).
PORT     STATE SERVICE
5000/tcp open  upnp
--
Nmap scan report for syno03 (192.168.1.54)
Host is up (0.00022s latency).
PORT     STATE SERVICE
5000/tcp open  upnp
