"Description: Next-generation scanning tool for security pentesters
AMAP stands for Application MAPper. It is a next-generation scanning
tool for security penetration testers. It attempts to identify
applications even if they are running on a different port than normal.
.
It also identifies non-ascii based applications. This is achieved by
sending trigger packets, and looking up the responses in a list of
response strings.
