Features

• Network Scanners - Provides a command-line tool for network discovery, port scanning, and security auditing using custom packet injection.
• Port Scanners - Probes target systems to determine open ports and identify the specific services and versions running on them.
• Network Device Discovery - Identifies active hosts and devices on a network to map infrastructure layout.
• Security Testing and Auditing - Evaluates target systems for security weaknesses and misconfigurations by testing against known patterns.
• Reconnaissance and Assessment Platforms - Acts as a comprehensive framework for infrastructure mapping and gathering intelligence on active hosts through packet manipulation.
• Vulnerability Assessment Frameworks - Identifies open ports, detects remote operating systems, and audits target systems for known weaknesses and misconfigurations.
• Service Version Detectors - Interrogates active network ports to determine the specific application name and version number.
• Network Origin Mapping - Identifies active hosts and maps network infrastructure to maintain an accurate inventory of connected hardware.
• Packet Injection Engines - Generates and transmits custom raw network packets to bypass standard operating system networking stacks.
• Device Fingerprinting - Analyzes packet header variations to identify remote operating systems and hardware configurations.
• Packet Injection Utilities - Generates custom network packets to probe target systems and perform stealthy reconnaissance across diverse network environments.
• Security Reconnaissance Tools - Employs specialized packet crafting to evade firewalls and intrusion detection systems during reconnaissance.
• Remote OS Identification Tools - Analyzes network traffic responses to identify the underlying operating system of target hosts.
• Port Scanning - Standard network mapping and security auditing tool.
• Information Gathering - Detects network hosts, open ports, and potential vulnerabilities.
• Information Gathering Tools - Network discovery and security auditing utility for mapping infrastructure.
• Service Response Signatures - Compares raw service responses against a comprehensive database of known patterns to determine application versions.
• Network Automation CLI - Provides command-line automation for complex network operations and security scanning tasks.
• Network Security - Uses packet manipulation and spoofing to bypass network defenses and avoid detection.
• Packet Inspection Evasion Engines - Employs specialized packet manipulation and spoofing techniques to evade firewalls and intrusion detection systems during reconnaissance.
• Connection State Managers - Maintains internal tables of ongoing network probes to correlate asynchronous responses with specific scanning tasks.
• Task Automation Scripts - Provides a scripting engine for automating complex network tasks and deep service interrogation during security assessments.
• Blind Scanning Utilities - Conducts port scans through third-party hosts to hide the source address and bypass packet filters.
• Scripting Engines - Embeds a lightweight interpreter to execute modular user-defined logic for service interrogation and vulnerability detection.
• Scanning Extenders - Executes custom scripts to automate network discovery and deep service interrogation.
• Performance Optimization - Adjusts timing and concurrency settings to balance scan speed against result reliability.
• Asynchronous Event Loops - Manages large-scale network scanning throughput using a non-blocking event-driven execution model.
