Scanning for network vulnerabilities using nmap

This article is a bit of a divergence for me, I recently had the need to scan an entire network for a particularly nasty Microsoft security vulnerability MS15-034 ↗. There are a few ways to check for this, the first is obvious, check what servers have IIS installed. However, this bug isn’t limited to IIS, rather anything using HTTP.sys and, of course, a HTTP server can be spun up on any port you want so we need to check for servers that have HTTP exposed on any port from 1-65535....
