In need of the best port scanner there is!

Pcghost · 03-07-2003, 12:00 PM

I don't mean to start a mine is better type of thread, but I am desperatly trying to find a good port scanner to use for testing my firewalls. I have had mixed results with both yaps and superscan. Can someone recommend a good scanner?

Have you not tried nmap? If not, I highly recommend it.

I agree with renmo. Use nmap http://www.insecure.org

Have fun

Oh? This isn't a Doz forum? Well that would explain all the penguins ;-)

Strobe works well not as complex as nmap.

nmap has proved particularly good for me, I can also send you some source code for another port scanner that can tell you whats running on each port that a mate hacked together if you like.

Shak, if the SW you mentioned is GPLed or OSS in any way could you post a link here?

hping2 is an excellent tool. xnmap is the easiest to use and nessus, well not as easy to use as nmap but generates lovely reports.

I'd suggest a nmap scan combined with a security scanner with Nessus
