Discovery Scan
A discovery scan is the Metasploit internal scanner that combines Nmap and several Metasploit modules to scan and fingerprint targets. If you do not have Nexpose or scan data to import into Metasploit Pro, you can run a discovery scan to gather information about the target. There are several scan speeds that you can configure for a discovery scan. The scan speed determines the method that the discovery scan uses to perform the discovery process.
