- ==================================================
- INTRODUCTION
-
- exscan is a network/Internet port scanner, that
- uses the strobe-scan technique of only scanning
- certain ports, instead of a full blown port scan.
- The ports which exscan scans can be viewed in
- the file SERVICES which is distributed with
- exscan.
-
- exscan is not only a port scanner, though. With
- some services (such as finger and HTTP) exscan
- queries the server for information (such as
- the users on finger; and the server version on
- HTTP). On other services (such as FTP, SMTP,
- and others) exscan displays the information
- returned by the server, sometimes called a
- banner, and usually including the
- server type and version.
-
- Starting with the 0.3 release, exscan has the
- remote OS identification functionality from
- QueSO integrated into the exscan interface.
- Now whenever you scan a host you'll also know
- whether the target is running Linux, Windows,
- or any other operating system.
-
- exscan aims to be a tool which can handle all
- of your port scanning and machine scanning
- needs within the comfortable interface of
- a single program.
-
- I hope you find exscan useful. If you have any
- suggestions (or hopefully improvements you have
- made) please send them to me. I believe that the
- best way for exscan to evolve, is for programmers
- and hackers around the world to use it, break it,
- and improve it. E-mail me at:

- ==================================================
- INSTALLATION
-
- 1) To compile, type:
- make
- 2) To install, as root type:
- make install
-
- Not too painful, eh?
-
- ==================================================
- HOW-TO-USE exscan
-
- exscan must be run with the name of the target
- computer, or the host you wish to scan. The
- hostname can be in the form of a name (localhost)
- or IP address (127.0.0.1) If you do not want to
- scan all of the ports exscan scans by default
- (see SERVICES), you may also list the ports you
- do want exscan to scan after the host name.
- There can be any number of ports, delimited
- (or separated) by spaces.
-
- If you want to scan your own computer, you
- might use:
- exscan localhost
-
- If you only want to scan your computer for
- telnet, you might use:
- exscan localhost 23
-
- If you want to scan your computer for telnet
- and HTTP, you might use:
- exscan localhost 23 80
-
- Also, see the exscan on-screen help for
- information on the various command-line arguments.
- Here are some examples:
-
- To only list the services which would be
- scanned, you might use:
- exscan -l localhost
-
- To disable QueSO functionality, you might use:
- exscan -q localhost
-
- To only use QueSO operating system
- identification, you might use:
- exscan -o localhost
-
- To direct output to a file, instead of the
- console or screen, you might use:
- exscan -f localhost.scan localhost
-
- To only print the version information of
- exscan, you might use:
- exscan -V
