Things you may want to do with RustScan but don't understand how

Here are some things you may want to do with RustScan!

Multiple IP Scanning

You can scan multiple IPs using a comma separated list like so:

rustscan -a 127.0.0.1,0.0.0.0

Host Scanning

RustScan can also scan hosts, like so:

➜ rustscan -a www.google.com, 127.0.0.1
Open 216.58.210.36:1
Open 216.58.210.36:80
Open 216.58.210.36:443
Open 127.0.0.1:53
Open 127.0.0.1:631

CIDR support

RustScan supports CIDR:

➜ rustscan -a 192.168.0.0/30

Hosts file as input

The file is a new line separated list of IPs / Hosts to scan:

hosts.txt

192.168.0.1
192.168.0.2
google.com
192.168.0.0/30
127.0.0.1

The argument is:

rustscan -a 'hosts.txt'

Individual Port Scanning

RustScan can scan individual ports, like so:

➜ rustscan -a 127.0.0.1 -p 53
53

Multiple selected port scanning

You can input a comma separated list of ports to scan:

➜ rustscan -a 127.0.0.1 -p 53,80,121,65535
53

Ranges of ports

To scan a range of ports:

To run:

➜ rustscan -a 127.0.0.1 --range 1-1000

Adjusting the Nmap arguments

RustScan, at the moment, runs Nmap by default.

You can adjust the arguments like so:

rustscan -a 127.0.0.1 -- -A -sC

To run:

nmap -Pn -vvv -p $PORTS -A -sC 127.0.0.1

Random Port Ordering

If you want to scan ports in a random order (which will help with not setting off firewalls) run RustScan like this:

➜ rustscan -a 127.0.0.1 --range 1-1000 --scan-order "Random"
