About:
Naabu is a high-performance port scanner written in Go that efficiently discovers open ports on target hosts. It is designed for speed and low noise, making it ideal for large-scale network reconnaissance and security assessments. The tool integrates seamlessly with other Project Discovery tools for comprehensive vulnerability scanning workflows.
Key Features:
  • Fast and efficient port scanning using concurrent connections
  • Supports multiple scan techniques (TCP, SYN, ICMP)
  • Minimal noise and stealthy scanning capabilities
  • Integration with Project Discovery ecosystem (Nuclei, etc.)
  • Simple and clean output formatting (JSON, CSV)
Use Cases:
  • Network security auditing and penetration testing
  • Asset discovery and inventory management
  • Pre-engagement reconnaissance for red team operations
  • Continuous monitoring of external attack surface
Alternatives:
  • nmap – Nmap is more feature-rich with scripting engine, while Naabu focuses on speed and simplicity for pure port discovery
  • masscan – Masscan is extremely fast but less integrated with modern security workflows compared to Naabu
