RustScan is a high-speed network reconnaissance tool designed for automated port discovery and service enumeration. It functions as an automated vulnerability scanner that identifies open ports and active services across network environments, providing a foundation for mapping attack surfaces and gathering intelligence on target systems.
The tool distinguishes itself through its ability to dynamically adjust scanning parameters and concurrency in real-time based on system feedback, ensuring efficient performance while preventing network congestion. It features an extensible architecture that supports the execution of custom scripts and the automated piping of discovered data into external security utilities, including native integration with Nmap for deep service analysis.
Beyond basic port discovery, the software supports payload-driven service probing to accurately classify network services and includes capabilities for UDP service identification. It is built as a cross-platform utility, utilizing a unified codebase to generate native binaries for multiple operating systems.
