People! You’re really gonna admire this. It’s actually Life-saving.

RustScan is a modern take on the port scanner. Sleek & Fast. Find ports quickly, in 1/20 of time that Nmap takes. Run scripts through the scripting engine (Python, Lua, Shell supported).

Features

  • Scans all 65k ports in 3 seconds.
  • Full scripting engine support. 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.
  • Automatically pipes ports into Nmap.

I still sometimes don’t belive that it’s so fast, completing Nmap’s Aggresive scans, which used to take more than an hour, in just half a minute! It’s really revolutionary. Salute to the Developers of RustScan.

A Quick Usage Guide

Just give the flag -a for target IP(s)/Domain-name(s) and then after a double hyphen ( — ) put any flag, you give to Nmap.

Example: rustscan -a 127.0.0.1,www.tryhackme.com — -sV -A -p 1–65535

Installation

Here’s the Installation Guide.

Not the End of Life ;)

Isn’t it Life saving.. huh ? Then do like, share and comment below your opinion.

Have A Good Day, AllahHafiz.
