This document provides an overview of Nmap Scripting Engine (NSE) for security researchers looking to build NSE scripts. It covers the anatomy of an NSE script including required components like metadata, categories, portrules and actions. It also provides tips for scriptors like specifying the script directory, using debugging mode, and updating the script database. The goal is to provide a kickstart for researchers to learn how to create NSE scripts and proofs-of-concept.
