PortScout - High Performance Port Scanner

📜 Description

PortScout is a fast and efficient network port scanner for common ports. This script performs rapid-fast scanning of supplied IP addresses and domain names to check common ports. While conducting a targeted security audit, PortScout provides the critical information you need to keep your systems secure. Ideally, it takes 2 minutes to scan 100 domains/IPs.

🌟 Features

• Multi-threading: Uses threading for concurrent checks, significantly reducing scan times.
• Port Check: Identifies open ports and provides service name.
• Banner Retrieval: Efficiently retrieves SSH, HTTP banners without authentication.
• • Detailed Output: Provides clear output summarizing scan result.
