IP PORT Sniffer (Rust)

This Rust application provides a simple yet effective tool for scanning ports on a given IP address. With multithreading support, it efficiently checks for open ports within the specified range.

Features

• Port Scanning: Utilizes TCP connection attempts to scan for open ports.
• Multithreading: Distributes scanning tasks across multiple threads for faster execution.
• Command-line Interface: Accepts command-line arguments for specifying IP addresses, threads, and help messages.

Usage

Installation

1. Clone the repository to your local machine:

   git clone https://github.com/your_username/ip-sniffer-rust.git
   

2. Navigate to the project directory:

   cd ip-sniffer-rust
   

3. Build the Application:

   cargo build
   

Running

The application accepts the following command-line arguments:

• -threads <num_threads>: Specify the number of threads for concurrent scanning.

• -h or -help: Display help message. Example uses:

• Display help messages:-

  cargo run --h

• Scan ports on a specific IP address with default settings (4 threads):-

  cargo run 192.168.1.1  

• Scan ports on a specific IP address with a custom number of threads:

  cargo run -- -threads 100 192.168.1.1 

Output

The application provides a list of open ports found during the scan.
