ALL USE IS AT YOUR OWN RISK, AND NO LIABILITY OR RESPONSIBILITY IS ASSUMED. NO WARRANTIES ARE MADE. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- This is the new version of ascan. ascan is a multi processes tcp port scanner. Usage: ascan [-Vhvn] [-c childs] [-p ports] [-t timeout] [from] [to] -V version, copyright and greets -h this help -v verbose mode (off) - prints to stderr various infos -n output service name (off) - shows name of opened services -c childs (2) - number of childs to run -p ports per group (128) - ports per scanning cycle to use -t general timeout in seconds (0) - 0 means no timeout host host to scan from from port (1) to to port (from port if specified, 80 otherwise) ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ascan does *NOT* work if run under socks. I did not find any FAST way to scan a host under a socks. If you know a way tell me ;) Anyway it does *NOT* crash if run under socks. This version does *NOT* crash if run under Genesis. Previous version could crash if PPC (-p options) was greater than 64. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Sources are included and a little bit commented.
