RustScan
The Modern Port Scanner
The Modern Port Scanner. Find ports quickly (3 seconds at its fastest). Run scripts through our scripting engine (Python, Lua, Shell supported). Scans all 65k ports in 3 seconds. Full scripting engine support. Automatically pipe results into Nmap, or use our scripts (or write your own) to do whatever you want. Adaptive learning. RustScan improves the more you use it. No bloated machine learning here, just basic maths. The usuals you would expect. IPv6, CIDR, file input and more. Automatically pipes ports into Nmap. RustScan is a modern take on the port scanner. Sleek & fast. All while providing extensive extendability to you. Not to mention RustScan uses Adaptive Learning to improve itself over time, making it the best port scanner for you. Speed is guaranteed via RustScan. However, if you want to run a slow scan due to stealth that is possible too. We have tests that check to see if RustScan is significantly slower than the previous version. -

OpenVAS Scanner
This repository contains the scanner component for Greenbone Community
OpenVAS Scanner is the scanner component of Greenbone Community Edition and serves as a full-featured vulnerability scanning engine. It executes a continuously updated feed of Vulnerability Tests to identify security weaknesses across systems and services. The scanner is also used within Greenbone Enterprise appliances, which reflects its role in broader vulnerability management workflows. It can be built and installed from source, integrated with other GVM modules, or deployed through Greenbone’s container-based options. The repository includes the current C-based scanner implementation as well as a Rust project intended to simplify and centralize the scanner stack over time. OpenVAS Scanner is best suited for security teams, administrators, and vulnerability management programs that need structured, feed-driven assessment capabilities. -

ZMap
ZMap is a fast single packet network scanner for network surveys
ZMap is a fast single packet network scanner designed for Internet-wide network surveys. On a typical desktop computer with a gigabit Ethernet connection, ZMap is capable scanning the entire public IPv4 address space in under 45 minutes. With a 10gigE connection and PF_RING, ZMap can scan the IPv4 address space in under 5 minutes. ZMap operates on GNU/Linux, Mac OS, and BSD. ZMap currently has fully implemented probe modules for TCP SYN scans, ICMP, DNS queries, UPnP, BACNET, and can send a large number of UDP probes. If you are looking to do more involved scans, e.g., banner grab or TLS handshake, take a look at ZGrab 2, ZMap's sister project that performs stateful application-layer handshakes. ZDNS is a utility for performing fast DNS lookups, such as completing an A lookup for all names in a zone file, or collecting CAA records for a large number of websites. ZDNS contains its own recursive resolver and supports A, AAAA, ANY, AXFR, CAA, CNAME, DMARC, MX, NS, PTR, TXT, etc. -

NetAlertX
Centralized network visibility and continuous asset discovery
NetAlertX is a network visibility and asset intelligence framework for continuous device discovery and monitoring. It is designed for homelabs, IT teams, MSPs, NOCs, and distributed environments that need a centralized view of connected assets. The platform monitors devices, detects changes, tracks unauthorized hardware, and helps maintain a source of truth for network infrastructure. It supports discovery through methods such as arp-scan, Pi-hole imports, DHCP lease imports, UniFi controller imports, and SNMP-enabled router imports. NetAlertX can send notifications through many services, connect with Home Assistant, expose API endpoints, and support custom automation through webhooks and plugins. It also supports multi-site monitoring through Sync Nodes, making it useful for remote sites, VLANs, branch offices, and segmented networks. -

Smap
a drop-in replacement for Nmap powered by shodan.io
Smap is a passive port scanner designed as a drop-in alternative to Nmap while using Shodan.io data. It accepts many familiar Nmap-style command-line arguments and can produce Nmap-like output formats, which makes it easier to integrate into existing workflows. Because it relies on Shodan’s free API, it can scan quickly without directly contacting targets in its default mode. The project emphasizes speed, with support for scanning large numbers of hosts per second. Smap can provide service and version fingerprinting, vulnerability detection, and results in formats such as XML, greppable, normal, JSON, and custom output. It is useful for authorized reconnaissance where fast external visibility matters, while users should remember that passive results may be delayed or incomplete compared with active scanning. -

TraceMAC - Traceroute for MAC addresses
TraceMAC is a command-line Layer 2 traceroute for Cisco switches
TraceMAC is a Windows/Linux command-line tool that allows you to trace a specific MAC address thru Cisco switches. It works by connecting to a switch using SSH, SNMP, Telnet, HTTP or HTTPS and do some "show commands" and later process the output, this will happen recursively until it finds the switch where that MAC address (PC/Printer/Etc) is directly connected. Note: It works with Cisco switches only and you must have CDP enabled at least on trunks/links between switches! Is tested with Cisco switches: Catalyst: 2960,3560,3750,4948,6509,9200,9300,9500 (All protocols) Nexus: C9332C, 93180YC-EX (NX-OS SSH) Express 500 (HTTP) FYI: It uses Nbtscan.exe (NetBIOS) as a alternative method to discover the mac address of a host and now seems that it is considered a malware. Anyway it is just a simple network tool that can scan the network similar to NMAP or Angry IP Scanner, etc... -
