About:
Rustscan is a modern port scanner designed to find open ports on servers much faster than traditional tools. It uses multithreading and scripts to reduce scan times significantly, automatically integrating with Nmap for deeper service detection. This makes it ideal for security professionals needing quick and efficient reconnaissance.
Key Features:
  • Multithreaded for extreme speed
  • Automatic script integration with Nmap
  • Adaptive learning for adjusting scan speed
  • Modern Rust implementation
Use Cases:
  • Rapid security reconnaissance and penetration testing
  • Identifying open ports on live network hosts
  • Automated network inventory scanning
Alternatives:
  • nmap – The industry standard for port scanning and service discovery, though generally slower than Rustscan without specific tuning.
  • masscan – An incredibly fast scanner capable of scanning the entire internet, but with a more complex output and setup than Rustscan.
