Rust Port Scanner

A simple, multi-threaded port scanner built in Rust that scans for open ports on a given IP address using a specified number of threads.

Usage

cargo run -- -j <threads> <ip_address>

Example

cargo run -- -j 1000 192.168.1.1
  • -j: Specifies the number of threads to use.
  • <threads>: Number of threads (e.g., 1000).
  • <ip_address>: Target IP address to scan (e.g., 192.168.1.1).

Output

  • Displays a dot (.) for each scanned port.
  • Lists the open ports after scanning is complete.

Features

  • Multi-threaded scanning: Leverages threads to scan ports in parallel for efficiency.
  • Supports both IPv4 and IPv6: Accepts both IP versions.
  • Customizable thread count: Use the -j flag to control the number of threads.

Error Handling

  • If invalid arguments are provided, the program will display an error message and exit.
  • For help, use: 
    cargo run -- -h

Additional Notes

  • The scanner targets ports from 1 to 65535.
  • Scans start from a given port and increment based on the number of threads.
  • The program flushes output immediately to keep track of progress.
