RustScan Overview

INFO

Rust Scan is a modern, fast, and efficient network scanner written in Rust. It aims to combine the speed of Rust with the power of Nmap to create a comprehensive scanning tool. Rust Scan is designed to be extremely fast and is capable of scanning an entire IP range or multiple IP addresses efficiently.

Key Features

  • Ultra-fast port scanning.
  • Integration with Nmap for detailed service and vulnerability scans.
  • Support for multiple IP addresses and CIDR notation.
  • Ability to scan selected ports or port ranges.
  • Support for both TCP and UDP scans.

Usage Instructions

Basic Usage

Noisy Scan

For a comprehensive scan using Nmap’s default scripts and service/version detection:

rustscan -a 0.0.0.0 -- -A -sC -sV -oN initial.log
  • -a 0.0.0.0: Target IP address.
  • -A: Enables OS detection, version detection, script scanning, and traceroute.
  • -sC: Runs Nmap’s default scripts.
  • -sV: Version detection.
  • -oN initial.log: Outputs the results to initial.log.

SYN “Stealth” Scan

To perform a SYN scan, which is less likely to be detected by firewalls:

sudo rustscan -a 0.0.0.0 -- -vv -oN Initial-SYN-Scan
  • -vv: Increases verbosity.
  • -oN Initial-SYN-Scan: Outputs the results to Initial-SYN-Scan.

Service Scan

To scan specific services:

sudo rustscan -a 0.0.0.0 -p 22,53,80,443 -- -sV -Pn -vv
  • -p 22,53,80,443: Scans ports 22, 53, 80, and 443.
  • -sV: Service version detection.
  • -Pn: Disables host discovery, treating the targets as online.
  • -vv: Increases verbosity.

Advanced Usage

Multiple IP Scanning

To scan multiple IP addresses:

rustscan -a 0.0.0.0,1.1.1.1
  • Scans both 0.0.0.0 and 1.1.1.1.

CIDR Support

To scan a range of IP addresses using CIDR notation:

rustscan -a 192.168.0.0/30
  • Scans the IP range 192.168.0.0 to 192.168.0.3.

Selected Port Scanning

To scan specific ports on a target:

rustscan -a 0.0.0.0 -p 53,80,121,65535
  • Scans ports 53, 80, 121, and 65535 on 0.0.0.0.

Port Range Scanning

To scan a range of ports:

rustscan -a 0.0.0.0 --range 1-1000
  • Scans ports 1 through 1000 on 0.0.0.0.

UDP Scan

To perform a UDP scan:

rustscan -a 0.0.0.0 -sU -p ports
  • -sU: Specifies a UDP scan.
  • -p ports: Specifies the ports to scan.
