This project is highly inspired by the LiveOverflow Minecraft hacking series.
This tool is used to scan the entire Internet on port 25565 and send a Minecraft ping packet to test if the server candidate is a Minecraft Server.
On success the metadata is saved in a simple NoSQL database.
A working docker container is published on Docker Hub.
Simply use the docker-compose.yml to start MongoDB and start scanning.
MCScan restarts the container automatically after a whole scan and begins from start.
Good to know: MCScan has implemented the default exclude.conf by masscan to ignore unrouted networks.
⚠ The MongoDB Port 27017 is exposed by default. Please use a more secure way to access your MongoDB.
To explore the found server use Mongo Explorer as a webtool or Mongo Compass for more complex query.
