RustScan is a modern take on the port scanner. Sleek and fast in operation. All while providing extensive extendability with a scripting engine which allows anyone to write scripts in most languages. Python, Lua, and Shell are supported.
RustScan uses Adaptive Learning to improve itself over time
This is free and open source software.
Key Features
- Scans all 65k ports in 3 seconds.
- Full scripting engine support. Automatically pipe results into Nmap, or use our scripts (or write your own) to do whatever you want.
- Adaptive learning. RustScan improves the more you use it. No bloated machine learning here, just basic maths.
- The usual functionality you would expect. IPv6, CIDR, file input and more.
- Automatically pipes ports into Nmap.
