Install

Download binaries from github release page.

Build

If you have rust compiler, for example cargo, you could do: First you should clone repo.

git clone https://github.com/w1jtoo/watering-port
cd watering-port

Usage

Options

Command	Short	Description
--help	-h	show this
--ports-count	-c	sets count of scanning ports
--start-port	-s	sets first scanning port

How does it work

First of all, scanner find opened port using OS socket connection. If it connected it sends application layer protocols packet like HTTP/1.1 GET. Then, if scanning machine response something acceptable, scanner keep this information like banner, else it use same method but on transport layer, in this way we use TCP or UDP instead of HTTP.
