The Port Scanner is a simple command-line tool written in Rust that allows you to scan for open ports on a target host. It uses the Clap library for parsing command-line arguments and the Rayon library for parallelizing the port scanning process, making it efficient and fast.
To use the Port Scanner, you need to have Rust installed on your system. If you don't have Rust installed, you can follow the instructions here to install it.
Once you have Rust installed, you can clone this repository and build the project using Cargo, the package manager and build tool for Rust:
git clone https://github.com/yourusername/port-scanner.git
cd port-scanner
cargo build --releaseAfter building the project, you will find the executable binary in the target/release directory.
To scan for open ports on a target host, simply run the executable binary followed by the target host name or IP address:
./port-scanner --target 192.168.0.1By default, the scanner will check for open ports in the range of 1 to 1024. You can customize the port range by modifying the PortScanner struct in the code.
The Port Scanner supports the following command-line options:
-t, --target <HOST>: Specifies the host name or IP address to scan for open ports. If not provided, the default value is127.0.0.1.
./port-scanner --target example.comOutput:
Open Ports: [80, 443]
In this example, the tool scanned for open ports on the host example.com, and it found that ports 80 (HTTP) and 443 (HTTPS) were open.
