This is the fastest Internet port scanner. It can scan the entire
|
|
Internet in under 6 minutes, transmitting 10 million packets per
|
|
second.
|
|
|
|
It produces results similar to nmap, the most famous port scanner.
|
|
Internally, it operates more like scanrand, unicornscan, and ZMap,
|
|
using asynchronous transmission. The major difference is that it's
|
|
faster than these other scanners. In addition, it's more flexible,
|
|
allowing arbitrary address ranges and port ranges.
|
|
|
|
NOTE: masscan uses a custom TCP/IP stack. Anything other than simple
|
|
port scans will cause conflict with the local TCP/IP stack. This
|
|
means you need to either use the -S option to use a separate IP
|
|
address, or configure your operating system to firewall the ports
|
|
that masscan uses.
