Port Sniffer

Port Sniffer is a command-line tool built with Rust that helps you find all the open ports on a given host. It uses native OS threads to try all the ports concurrently, making it faster than sequential port scanning tools.

Installation

You can install Port Sniffer using Cargo, the Rust package manager. First, make sure you have Rust installed on your system. Then, run the following command:

cargo install nexuslab_port_sniffer --name port_sniffer

This will download the source code, compile it, and install the port-sniffer binary in your system's binary directory (usually ~/.cargo/bin/).

Usage

To use Port Sniffer, simply run the port_sniffer command followed by the hostname or IP address you want to scan.

port_sniffer [OPTIONS] <IP_OR_DOMAIN>

Options

Flags

Examples

For example:

port-sniffer 127.0.0.1

This will scan all the ports on 127.0.0.1 and print the open ones to the console.
