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:
