NAME
pnscan - multi threaded port scanning tool
SYNOPSIS
pnscan [ options] [ <CIDR | host-range> <port-range>]
pnscan [ options] [ <port>]
DESCRIPTION
This manual page documents briefly the pnscan command.
pnscan is a tool that can be used to survey TCP network services.
When used with two command line arguments it will scan the indicated network/hosts and ports. When used without arguments or just one then
it will read hostname/IP addresses from stdin and probe those. The single port/service argument is used as a default if no port is indi-
cated on stdin
For example, it can be used to survey the installed versions of SSH, FTP, SMTP, Web, IDENT and possibly other services.
This program implements a multithreaded TCP port scanner. More information and new relaseses may be found at:
