About:
Havn is a fast and configurable port scanner built in Rust that efficiently discovers open ports on target hosts. It offers sensible default settings for quick scans while providing extensive customization options for advanced network reconnaissance tasks. The tool prioritizes speed and reliability, making it suitable for both security audits and routine network diagnostics.
Key Features:
  • High-performance scanning powered by Rust
  • Customizable timeout and concurrency settings
  • Supports both TCP and UDP protocols
  • Clean, concise output formatting
Use Cases:
  • Network security auditing and penetration testing
  • System administration and network inventory discovery
  • Troubleshooting connectivity issues on firewalled hosts
Alternatives:
  • nmap – Nmap is a comprehensive network exploration suite, whereas Havn focuses on providing a faster, simpler port scanning experience with fewer dependencies.
  • masscan – Masscan is optimized for scanning massive networks, while Havn offers a more user-friendly approach for targeted, smaller-scale scans with easier configuration.
