Usage

netutil is a simple port sniffer tool, which helps to know which ports are open in a given range by attempting to open TCP connections. To test a single address you must run:

$ netutil 127.0.0.1:8080

This command will return an output similar to the following:

> • 127.0.0.1:8080 - Open

This output means that the port 8080 is open in the IP address (local IP address), 127.0.0.1.

A set of ports can also be tested using the -r argument, which stands for "range":

$ netutil 127.0.0.1:8080 -r 8100

The range is made from the target address port until the range argument value port. In the case above the range would be [8080, 8100].

As a set of ports are going to be tested, a confirmation is prompted before initializing the task:

$ netutil 127.0.0.1:8080 -r 8100
> Are you sure you want to scan on 127.0.0.1:8080 from port 8080 to 8100? (y/n):

If no ports are available after executing the task, then a message like the following will appear:

> No ports open in address 127.0.0.1:8080 for the port range 8080 to 8100

Otherwise a list of available addresses is shown:

> • 127.0.0.1:8080 - Open
> • 127.0.0.1:8084 - Open
> • 127.0.0.1:8095 - Open
> • 127.0.0.1:8099 - Open
> • 127.0.0.1:8100 - Open
