Port Sniffer
Port Sniffer is a command-line tool built with Rust that helps you find all the open ports on a given host. It uses native OS threads to try all the ports concurrently, making it faster than sequential port scanning tools.
Installation
You can install Port Sniffer using Cargo, the Rust package manager. First, make sure you have Rust installed on your system. Then, run the following command:
cargo install nexuslab_port_sniffer --name port_sniffer
This will download the source code, compile it, and install the port-sniffer binary in your system's binary directory (usually ~/.cargo/bin/).
Usage
To use Port Sniffer, simply run the port_sniffer command followed by the hostname or IP address you want to scan.
port_sniffer [OPTIONS] <IP_OR_DOMAIN>
