A CLI tool to scan for active ports on a host address

pScan

A CLI tool that scans the ports on a host address and tells you which is open and closed.

Installation

Installation is only available on homebrew for now. Run:

    brew tap nelwhix/nelwhix
    brew install pscan 

Commands

To add a new host write

    pscan hosts add [host-address]

You can also list out the hosts the CLI is monitoring with:

    pscan hosts list

To scan the ports on the hosts run:

    pscan scan -p 8080,8000,443

replace 8080 etc. with the ports you want to check if closed

a closed port means it is free for use, an open port means it is in use

To kill a port, run:

    pscan kill -p 8000

the command will ask for confirmation and if you agree the port is closed.
