scripts: report a missing script program before scanning (#965)

Scripts are run through `sh -c`, so when the program a `call_format`
starts with is missing, the only feedback is whatever the shell prints
once the scan has already finished:

    Open 127.0.0.1:18080
    [~] Starting Script(s)
    [!] Error No such file or directory (os error 2)

which neither names the program nor arrives before a long scan has been
wasted.

Check the first word of every selected script format against PATH while
the scripts are initialised, and fail there with the program named. Name
resolution follows what the shell would do: PATH entries in order, plus
PATHEXT on Windows.

Formats that do not start with a bare program name are left alone, since
their first word is not something PATH can answer for:

- `FOO=bar cmd ...` (leading assignment)
- `/opt/custom/nmap ...` (explicit path)
- `{{script}} ...` (placeholder filled in at run time)

With nmap absent, on the same scan:

    before: scans, then "[!] Error No such file or directory (os error 2)"
    after:  "[!] Initiating scripts failed!
             The script `default` runs `nmap`, which is not installed or
             not in PATH. Install it, or skip scripts with `--scripts none`."

With nmap present the scan and the script phase run as before.

Implemented with std/target-specific helpers rather than a new
dependency: `which` pulls in a newer windows-sys and rewrites ~110 lines
of Cargo.lock for a 15-line check.

+CI-only tooling for ``.github/workflows/scan-benchmark.yml``; it is not part
+of the test suite. It port-scans 127.0.0.1, so only run it on a disposable CI
+runner, never on a developer machine or a shared host.
+
+``run`` starts ``serve`` (TCP listeners and UDP responders on 127.0.0.1) in a
+separate process, runs every scenario with every build (interleaving the
+builds so that drift on the runner affects them all alike), checks that all
+builds report the same open ports, and writes the raw measurements as JSON
+plus a Markdown summary of the medians. On Linux the workflow also sets up a
+host behind an artificial delay (a network namespace on the runner, with its
+own ``serve``), so that answers arrive after a round trip, as they do from a
+remote host, instead of while the probe is being sent.
+
+Measured per run:
+
+* scan time: RustScan's own "Portscan" timer (``RUST_LOG=rustscan=info``),
+  reported as throughput (sockets per second);
+* wall time of the whole process, and the time until the first ``Open`` line
+  appears on stdout (latency to the first result);
+* peak RSS and CPU time (user + system) of the process;
+* peak number of open file descriptors (Windows: handles) and of threads,
+  sampled every few milliseconds while the scan runs.

+The Modern Port Scanner. **Find ports quickly (3 seconds at its fastest)**. Run scripts through our scripting engine (Python, Lua, Shell supported).
 
-RustScans **only** job is to reduce the friction between finding open ports and inputting them into nmap.
+# 🛠️ Installation
 
-# ✨ Features
-* Scans all 65k ports in **8 seconds** (on 10k batch size).
-* Saves you time by automatically piping it into Nmap. No more manual copying and pasting!
-* Does one thing and does it well. **Only** purpose is to improve Nmap, not replace it!
-* Let's you choose what Nmap commands to run, or uses the default.
-* IPv6 Support
+You can install RustScan's binary from our [releases page](https://github.com/RustScan/RustScan/releases).
 
-## ‼️ Important Links
+We would prefer you to install with a package manager so it is tested and works for your system.

-# 📖 Full Installation Guide
-**You need Nmap**. If you have Kali Linux or Parrot OS installed, you already have Nmap. If not, [follow the nmap install guide](https://nmap.org/download.html).
-
-The easiest way to install RustScan is to use one of the packages provided for your system, such as HomeBrew or Yay for Arch Linux.
-
-The most universal way is to use `cargo`, Rust's built in package manager (think Pip but for Rust). [Follow this guide to installing Rust & Cargo](https://doc.rust-lang.org/cargo/getting-started/installation.html).
-
-If you face any issues at all, please leave a GitHub issue. I have only tested this on Linux, so there may be issues for Mac OS or Windows.
-
-Note: sometimes Rust doesn't add Cargo to the path. Please see [this issue](https://github.com/rust-lang/rustup/issues/2436) for how to fix that.
-
-## 🖥️ Debian / Kali
-
-Download the .deb file from the releases page:
-
-[https://github.com/brandonskerritt/RustScan/releases](https://github.com/brandonskerritt/RustScan/releases)
-
-Run the commpand `dpkg -i` on the file.
-
-Note: sometimes you can double click the file to achieve the same result.
-
-## Docker :whale:
-
-Docker is the recommended way of installing RustScan. This is because:
-* It has a high open file descriptor limit, which is one of the [main problems](https://github.com/RustScan/RustScan/issues/40) with RustScan. Now you don't have to fiddle around trying to understand your OS.
-* It works on all systems, regardless of OS. Even Windows, which we don't officially support.
-* The Docker image uses the latest build from Cargo, our main source-of-truth package. This means that you will always be using the latest version.
-* No need to install Rust, Cargo, or Nmap.
-
-To install Docker, [follow their guide](https://docs.docker.com/engine/install/).
-
-**Once Docker is installed, you can either build your own image using the `Dockerfile` (alpine) provided in the repo, or alternatively, use the published Docker image like below (most convenient)**
-
-Simply run this command against the IP you want to target:
-
-```
-docker run -it --rm --name rustscan cmnatic/rustscan:debian-buster rustscan 127.0.0.1
-```
-
-Note: this will scan the Docker's localhost, not your own.
-
-Once done, you will no longer need to re-download the image (except when RustScan updates) and can use RustScan like a normal application.
-
-You will have to run this command every time, so we suggest aliasing it to something memorable.
-
-```
-alias rustscan='docker run -it --rm --name rustscan cmnatic/rustscan:debian-buster rustscan'
-```
-
-Then we can:
-
-```
-rustscan 127.0.0.1 -t 500 -b 1500 -- -A
-```
-
-#### To build your own image:
-
-Download the repo:
-```
-git clone https://github.com/RustScan/RustScan.git
-```
-
-Build away!
-```
-docker build -t <yourimagename> .
-```
-
-## 🍺 HomeBrew
-
-**Note for Mac users** Mac OS has a very, very small ulimit size. This will negatively impact RustScan by a significant amount. Please use the Docker container, or tell RustScan to up the ulimit size on every run.
-
-Tap the brew:
-
-```
-brew tap brandonskerritt/rustscan
-```
-
-Install it:
-
-```
-brew install rustscan
-```
-
-## 🔧 Building it yourself
-
-1. Git clone the repo.
-2. Install Rust. You can do this with `curl --proto '=https' --tlsv1.2 -sSf https://sh.rustup.rs | sh` which I took from the Rust website https://www.rust-lang.org/tools/install
-3. cd into the Git repo, and run `cargo build --release`
-4. The binary is located at `target/release/rustscan`
-5. Symlink to the binary or something. Whatever you want!

+
+# 🔭 Why RustScan?
+
+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
+
+![fast][speed-1]
+
+Speed is guaranteed via RustScan. However, if you want to run a slow scan due to stealth, that is possible too.
+
+Firstly, let's talk code.
+
+We have tests that check to see if RustScan is significantly slower than the previous version. If it is, the continuous integration fails, and we can't commit code to master unless we make it faster.
+
+[HyperFine][speed-2] is used to monitor RustScan's performance over time to answer the question, "Are we getting faster? Are we getting slower?".
+
+Every pull request is reviewed by **one** person, but more often than not, **two** people review it. We test it manually and ensure the code doesn't negatively affect performance.
+
+[Read more here][speed-3].
+
+## ⚙️ Extensible
+
+![scripts][extensible-1]
+
+### _RustScan piping results into the custom Python script_
+
+RustScan has a new scripting engine that allows anyone to write scripts in most languages. Python, Lua, and Shell are all supported.
+
+Want to take your found ports and pipe them into Nmap for further analysis? That's possible. Want to run `smb-enum` if SMB is found open? Possible.
+
+The possibilities are endless -- and you can write scripts in whatever language you feel comfortable with.
+
+[Read more here][extensible-2].
+
+## 🌊 Adaptive
+
+![adaptive][adaptive-1]
+
+### _RustScan automatically fine-tunes itself to match the host OS_
+
+RustScan has a cool set of features called "Adaptive Learning". These features "learn" about the environment you are scanning and how _you_ use RustScan to **improve itself over time**.
+
+We use this umbrella term for any feature that fits this criterion. The list constantly changes, so [check out our wiki for more information][adaptive-learning].
+
+## 👩‍🦯 Accessible
+
+![fast][accessible-1]
+
+RustScan is one of the first penetration testing tools that aims to be entirely accessible.
+
+[Most penetration testing tools are not accessible][accessible-2], which negatively affects the whole industry.
+
+RustScan has continuous integration testing that aims to ensure it is accessible, and we are constantly working on ways to improve our accessibility and ensure _everyone_ can use RustScan.
+
 # 🤸 Usage
 
-```
-rustscan -h
-```
+We have 2 usage guides. [Basic Usage][usage-1] and [Things you may want to do][usage-2].
 
-```
-rustscan 1.7.1
-Fast Port Scanner built in Rust. WARNING Do not use this program against sensitive infrastructure since the specified
-server may not be able to handle this many socket connections at once. - Discord https://discord.gg/GFrQsGy - GitHub
-https://github.com/RustScan/RustScan
-
-USAGE:
-    rustscan [FLAGS] [OPTIONS] <ips>... [-- <command>...]
-
-FLAGS:
-    -a, --accessible
-    -h, --help          Prints help information
-    -q, --quiet         Quiet mode. Only output the ports. No Nmap. Useful for grep or outputting to a file
-    -V, --version       Prints version information
-
-OPTIONS:
-    -b, --batch-size <batch-size>    The batch size for port scanning, it increases or slows the speed of scanning.
-                                     Depends on the open file limit of your OS.  If you do 65535 it will do every port
-                                     at the same time. Although, your OS may not support this [default: 4500]
-        --scan-order <scan-order>    The order of scanning to be performed. The "serial" option will scan ports in
-                                     ascending order while the "random" option will scan ports randomly [default:
-                                     serial]  [possible values: Serial, Random]
-    -t, --timeout <timeout>          The timeout in milliseconds before a port is assumed to be closed [default: 1500]
-    -u, --ulimit <ulimit>            Automatically ups the ULIMIT with the value you provided
-
-ARGS:
-    <ips>...        A list of comma separated IP addresses to be scanned
-    <command>...    The Nmap arguments to run. To use the argument -A, end RustScan's args with '-- -A'. Example:
-                    'rustscan -T 1500 127.0.0.1 -- -A -sC'. This command adds -Pn -vvv -p $PORTS automatically to
-                    nmap. For things like --script '(safe and vuln)' enclose it in quotations marks \"'(safe and
-                    vuln)'\"")
-```
-
-The format is `rustscan -b 500 -T 1500 192.168.0.1` to scan 192.168.0.1 with 500 batch size with a timeout of 1500ms. The timeout is how long RustScan waits for a response until it assumes the port is closed.
-
-The batch size determines how fast RustScan is. Set it to 65k, and it will scan all 65k ports at the same time. This means at at 65k batch size, RustScan will take TIMEOUT long to scan all ports. Essentially, if timeout is 1000ms, **RustScan can scan in 1 second**.
-
-Your operating system may not support this, but it is worth it to play around and see where your open file limit is. Shortly I will be releasing a dockerised version with a much larger open file limit, so this will be possible.
-
-## ⚠️ WARNING
-
-This program, by default, scans 5000 ports at a time (5000 per second).
-
-This may cause damage to a server, or may make it incredibly obvious you are scanning the server.
-
-There are 2 ways to deal with this;
-1. Decrease batch size
-`rustscan -b 10` will run 10 port scans for 1 second, and then another 10 for 1 second and so on.
-2. Increase timeout
-`rustscan -T 5000` will mean RustScan waits 5 seconds until it scans the next ports.
-
-You can also use both of these at the same time, to make it as slow or as fast as you want. A fun favourite is 65535 batch size with 1 second timeout. Theoretically, this scans all 65535 ports in 1 second.
-
-**Please** do not use this tool against sensitive servers. It is designed mainly for Capture the Flag events, not real world servers with sensitive data.
-
-## 🚨 Thread Paniced at Main: Too Many Open Files
-This is the most common error found in RustScan.
-
-The open file limit is how many open sockets you can have at any given time.
-
-This limit changes from OS to OS.
-
-RustScan does not automatically create defaults (other than 5000) like Nmap does with their -T1, -T2 system.
-
-By figuring out for yourself the optimal batch size, you will know that RustScan is the most optimised port scanner for your system.
-
-There are 2 things you can do:
-1. Decrease batch size
-2. Increase open file limit
-
-Decreasing batch size slows down the program, so as long as it isn't too drastic, this is a good option.
-
-Run these 3 commands:
-
-```
-ulimit -a
-ulimit -Hn
-ulimit -Sn
-```
-
-They will give you an idea on the open file limit of your OS.
-
-If it says "250", run `rustscan -b 240` for a batch size of 240.
-
-Increasing the open file limit increases speed, but poses danger. Although, **opening more file sockets on the specified IP address may damage it**.
-
-To open more, set the ulimit to a higher number:
-
-```
-ulimit -n 5000
-```
-
-**Mac OS**
-Mac OS has, from what I can tell, a naturally very low open file descriptor limit. The limit for Ubuntu is 8800. The limit for Mac OS is 255!
-
-In this case, I would say it is safe to increase the open file limit. As most Linux based OS' have limits in the thousands.
-
-Although, if this breaks anything, please don't blame me.
-
-**Windows Subsystem for Linux**
-Windows Subsystem for Linux does not support ulimit (see issue #39).
-
-The best way is to use it on a host computer, in Docker, or in a VM that isn't WSL.
-
-**Automatic Ulimit updating**
-We are currently working on automatic Ulimit updating. If it is too high, it will lower itself. If it is too low, it will suggest a higher Ulimit. Watch [this issue](https://github.com/brandonskerritt/RustScan/issues/25) for more.
-
-## 🔌 Nmap Custom Flags
-To run your own nmap commands, end the RustScan command with `-- -A` where `--` indicates "end of RustScan flags, please do not parse anything further" and any flags after that will be entered into nmap.
-
-RustScan automatically runs `nmap -vvv -p $PORTS $IP`. To make it run `-A`, execute the command `rustscan 127.0.0.1 -- -A`.
-
-If you want to run commands such as `--script (vuln and safe)`, you will need to enclose it in quotations like so `--script '"(vuln and safe) or default"'`.
-
-## 🎯 Increasing speed / accuracy
-* Batch size
-
-This increases speed, by allowing us to process more at once. Something experimental I am working on is changing the open file limit. You can do this manually with `ulimit -n 70000` and then running rustscan with `-b 65535`. This _should_ scan all 65535 ports at the exact same time. But this is extremely experimental.
-
-For non-experimental speed increases, slowly increase the batch size until it no longer gets open ports, or it breaks.
-
-* Accuracy (and some speed)
-
-To increase accuracy, the easiest way is to increase the timeout. The default is 1.5 seconds, by setting it to 4 seconds (4000) we are telling RustScan "if we do not hear back from a port in 4 seconds, assume it is closed".
-
-Decreasing accuracy gives some speed bonus, but my testing found that batch size dramatically changed the speed whereas timeout did, but not so much.
+We also have documentation about our config file [here][config-file-here].

+
+## Contributing development environment
+
+To ease contribution to RustScan, you can use the `contributing.Dockerfile` to create a Docker image ready to build and play with RustScan.
+To build it you just need to run:
+
+```bash
+you@home:~/RustScan$ docker build -t rustscan_contributing -f contributing.Dockerfile
+```
+
+Then you need to run the container with a volume so it can access, _with read and write permissions_, to RustScan files:
+
+```bash
+you@home:~/RustScan$ docker run -ti --rm -v "$PWD":/rustscan -w /rustscan rustscan_contributing bash
+```
+
+You can now modify RustScan files with your favorite editor, once you want to compile and test your modifications, type the following in the container prompt:
+
+```bash
+root@container:/rustscan# cargo build
+```
+
+You can check the command-line interface without starting a scan:
+
+```bash
+root@container:/rustscan# cargo run -- --help
+```
+
+You can also format, lint with `clippy` and test the code with the following commands:
+
+```bash
+root@container:/rustscan# cargo fmt
+root@container:/rustscan# cargo clippy
+root@container:/rustscan# cargo test
+```
+
+Automated tests and benchmarks must run without network traffic or external script
+execution. Keep coverage focused on parsing, configuration, port ordering, socket
+address iteration, and timing helpers. Do not add tests that run TCP/UDP scans
+(including localhost), resolve hostnames, or launch Nmap or other scripts.
+
+Scanning behaviour and speed are measured separately, by the opt-in "Scan benchmark"
+GitHub Actions workflow (`.github/workflows/scan-benchmark.yml`). It runs for pull
+requests that touch the scanner, its runtime or its dependencies, and can be started
+by hand from the Actions tab. It builds the change and its base in release mode,
+scans listeners that it opens on 127.0.0.1 inside the runner, checks that both
+builds find the same open ports, and adds a comparison table to the job summary. Its
+script (`.github/scan-benchmark/scan_bench.py`) port-scans the loopback interface,
+so it is meant for disposable CI runners only.

+# ARM support
+
+This page covers which ARM targets RustScan's CI builds and tests, and how to build ARM binaries yourself.
+
+## What CI covers
+
+| Target | Built by | Tested by |
+| --- | --- | --- |
+| `aarch64-unknown-linux-gnu` (64-bit ARM Linux) | `build-nix` job in [build.yml](../.github/workflows/build.yml) | `Test Suite (ubuntu-24.04-arm)` in [test.yml](../.github/workflows/test.yml) |
+| `armv7-unknown-linux-gnueabihf` (32-bit ARM Linux) | `build-nix` job in [build.yml](../.github/workflows/build.yml) | not tested in CI |
+| `aarch64-apple-darwin` (Apple Silicon macOS) | `build-macos-aarch64` job in [build.yml](../.github/workflows/build.yml) | `Test Suite (macos-latest)` in [test.yml](../.github/workflows/test.yml) |
+
+- **Builds** use [`houseabsolute/actions-rust-cross`](https://github.com/houseabsolute/actions-rust-cross). It cross-compiles the Linux ARM targets with [`cross`](https://github.com/cross-rs/cross) on x86_64 runners.
+- **Tests** run natively on GitHub-hosted arm64 runners: `ubuntu-24.04-arm` for Linux, and `macos-latest`, which runs on Apple Silicon. They run the same `just test` recipe as every other platform.
+
+## Building ARM binaries locally
+
+The simplest option is `cross`, which runs the build in a container that already has the right toolchain and linker. It needs Docker or Podman.
+
+```sh
+cargo install cross
+cross build --locked --release --target aarch64-unknown-linux-gnu
+# or, for 32-bit ARM:
+cross build --locked --release --target armv7-unknown-linux-gnueabihf
+```
+
+The binary ends up at `target/<target>/release/rustscan`.
+
+On an ARM machine (for example a Raspberry Pi running a 64-bit OS, or an Apple Silicon Mac) you don't need `cross`; a normal native build works:
+
+```sh
+cargo build --locked --release
+```
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+- **`error[E0463]: can't find crate for std`, or linker errors:** you're cross-compiling with plain `cargo`. Either use `cross`, or install the target (`rustup target add <target>`) along with a matching cross linker.
+- **`cross` can't pull its image:** check that Docker or Podman is running and that your user can reach it.

+# Lazy DNS initialization benchmark
+
+Compared current Tokio master `67c08a33100362c54b56fde784b0fd234f70fa11` with the lazy-resolver implementation
+at `a05592a8a88b77ad85d961137943dfadfe98b612` on 2026-10-02.
+
+## Method
+
+Both binaries are release builds with LTO, using Rust 1.98.1 on an Intel Core
+Ultra 7 165U running Linux 7.2.6-1-cachyos. Each workload used twenty measured
+runs and two warmups per binary, alternating A/B and B/A order. Binaries used
+CPUs 0-3; the harness used CPUs 8-9. No builds ran during measurement.
+
+The harness ran in a private network namespace. Every invocation excluded
+its only requested port, so no scan traffic was sent. Configuration and
+scripts were disabled. Timing spans process launch through exit, including
+the same `taskset` affinity launcher for both builds.
+
+Common arguments:
+
+```sh
+--no-config --config-path /dev/null --no-banner --scripts none --greppable \
+  --ports 80 --exclude-ports 80
+```
+
+The literal case adds `-a 127.0.0.1`. The mixed case adds
+`-a 127.0.0.1,192.0.2.0/30,2001:db8::/126` and
+`--exclude-addresses 192.0.2.1,2001:db8::1`. Both use `RUST_LOG=rustscan=info`.
+
+## Results
+
+| Workload | Master median | Lazy DNS median | Time saved |
+| --- | ---: | ---: | ---: |
+| Literal IPv4 | 168.23 ms | 2.25 ms | 165.98 ms (98.66%) |
+| IPv4/IPv6 CIDRs and exclusions | 178.09 ms | 2.45 ms | 175.63 ms (98.62%) |
+
+All 88 invocations exited successfully with the expected empty scan output.
+A separate syscall trace of the optimized literal-IP invocation recorded no
+reads of `/etc/hosts` or `/etc/resolv.conf` and no network connects or sends.
+
+This host has a 2,760,051-byte hosts file. Eager Hickory initialization parses
+that file even for numeric targets. Systems with smaller hosts files will
+save less; this measures CLI startup, not socket throughput. Hostnames that
+need fallback DNS still pay resolver initialization once, and parsing order,
+file handling, deduplication and exclusions keep their existing behavior.

+CIDRs, exclusions, duplicates and empty inputs do not construct the resolver.

+# Port exclusion preparation benchmark
+
+Compared Tokio master `b7119f7f3eb1601e81126ef3572699ed7b3b7c0b` with
+implementation `270561d553688acbd99f61c460cdfa7c76c1423e` on 2026-10-02.
+
+## Method
+
+Release builds with LTO, Rust 1.98.1, Intel Core Ultra 7 165U, Linux
+7.2.6-1-cachyos. Both versions use the same lockfile and identical
+`benches/benchmark_helpers.rs`; copy the final benchmark harness into the
+baseline worktree before building it. The benchmark runs the production
+`Scanner::run_with_status` with **zero target addresses**, so it opens no
+sockets and does no DNS or scripting. It includes generating/cloning the
+port list, filtering and empty scan setup. Scanner construction and the
+current-thread Tokio runtime construction are outside the timer.
+
+Manual ports are `1..=port_count`; exclusions are
+`(i * 13 % 65536) as u16` for `i` in `0..excluded_count`. Each case has two
+independent twenty-sample Criterion runs per build, a 500 ms warmup and a
+2 s target measurement. Cases run in A/B then B/A order on CPU 0. No builds
+or other local checks ran during timing. CPU frequency was not fixed on
+this shared laptop, so the table retains both repetitions rather than
+selecting one result. Values are Criterion's mean point estimates.
+
+Build command for each worktree:
+
+```sh
+cargo bench --locked --bench benchmark_helpers --no-run
+```
+
+The saved benchmark executables are then run serially, for each case:
+
+```sh
+CARGO_TARGET_DIR=/tmp/preparation-results taskset -c 0 /path/to/benchmark_helpers \
+  --bench 'port preparation/65535 ports, 4096 exclusions' --save-baseline base-a
+```
+
+Repeat with the candidate binary as `head-a`, then the candidate as
+`head-b` and the baseline as `base-b`. To run the group normally without
+comparing builds:
+
+```sh
+cargo bench --locked --bench benchmark_helpers -- 'port preparation'
+```
+
+## Results
+
+Times are microseconds; A and B are separate matched repetitions.
+

+| ---: | ---: | ---: | ---: | ---: |
+| 1 | 1 | 0.289 / 0.286 | 0.261 / 0.271 | 9.7% / 5.2% |
+| 16 | 4 | 0.260 / 0.268 | 0.232 / 0.237 | 10.6% / 11.6% |

+| 4,096 | 64 | 20.680 / 20.363 | 2.930 / 3.064 | 85.8% / 85.0% |
+| 4,096 | 4,096 | 524.223 / 519.670 | 6.805 / 6.710 | 98.7% / 98.7% |
+| 65,535 | 0 | 166.113 / 115.686 | 3.655 / 2.333 | 97.8% / 98.0% |
+| 65,535 | 4 | 175.717 / 181.343 | 29.769 / 30.230 | 83.1% / 83.3% |
+| 65,535 | 64 | 207.617 / 206.910 | 31.595 / 31.462 | 84.8% / 84.8% |
+| 65,535 | 1,024 | 2018.463 / 3271.564 | 33.403 / 33.520 | 98.3% / 99.0% |
+| 65,535 | 4,096 | 8811.234 / 8469.706 | 59.853 / 63.211 | 99.3% / 99.3% |
+
+All twelve cases improved in both repetitions. This measures **preparation,
+not end-to-end network scan speed**: many scans are dominated by socket I/O,
+timeouts and reporting. In particular, the default no-exclusion saving is
+only a fraction of a millisecond.
+
+## Implementation and correctness
+
+With no exclusions, keep the already generated vector. For fewer than 64
+ports, filter in place with linear membership checks; this avoids bitmap
+setup and a second allocation. Larger lists use an 8 KiB bitmap covering
+all 65,536 values representable by `u16`, then retain ports in place. This
+changes the large-list filtering cost from ports × exclusions to ports +
+exclusions, while preserving order, duplicate ports and boundary values.
+The helper is kept out of line: release assembly showed an inlined bitmap
+reserved 8,424 bytes in every async poll, whereas the final poll frame uses
+344 bytes and the helper reserves its bitmap only during preparation.
+
+Exploration found that in-place linear membership slows large cases. A
+first production candidate also slowed 64 ports with 4,096 exclusions;
+using the bitmap for that case corrected the regression before the final
+matched runs. The cutoff is a performance choice, not a limit on input.
+
+One focused network-free regression test compares the implementation with
+an independent membership oracle for empty inputs, endpoints 0/65535,
+duplicate ports/exclusions, all ports, and a frozen random order.
+`cargo test --locked` passes 74 tests with one pre-existing ignored doctest.
+All-target Clippy, formatting, documentation and diff checks pass. The
+CI-only scan harness adds an excluded-port sweep using the existing
+listeners, checking expected results and using the actual attempted socket
+count for throughput.
+
+[Raw Criterion samples, confidence intervals, revisions and binary hashes](port-exclusion-benchmark-results.json)
+are included. Hosted correctness/performance results are linked in the PR.
+
+## macOS runner setup
+
+Repeated hosted sweeps on Darwin 25.6 returned `ENOBUFS` (error 55) on
+both master and the candidate, missing fixture listeners. Such runs are
+invalid for performance claims. The workflow provisions the TCP memory
+budget once before either build is measured, raising it from the default
+1/32 to 1/8 of physical memory when necessary, and prints the actual limit
+and allocation counters. It retains every scenario, repeat, listener
+comparison and performance threshold. An immediate untimed diagnostic
+scan records errors and kernel counters if a measured pair misses a
+listener; that failed dataset is not used to claim a speedup.
+
+This uses XNU's [TCP budget initialization](https://github.com/apple-oss-distributions/xnu/blob/main/bsd/netinet/tcp_subr.c)
+and [memory accounting interface](https://github.com/apple-oss-distributions/xnu/blob/main/bsd/sys/mem_acct_private.h).
+It changes the disposable benchmark environment, not RustScan's behavior
+or the operating system configuration on users' machines.

+//! Scripting Engine to run scripts based on tags.
+//!
+//! This module serves to filter and run the scripts selected by the user.
+//!
+//! A new commandline and configuration file option was added.
+//!
+//! ## `--scripts`
+//!
+//! ### `default`
+//!
+//! This is the default behavior, like as it was from the beginning of RustScan.
+//!
+//! The user do not have to chose anything for this. This is the only script
+//! embedded in RustScan running as default.
+//!
+//! ### `none`
+//!
+//! The user have to use the `--scripts none` commandline argument or `scripts =
+//! "none"` in the config file.
+//!
+//! None of the scripts will run, this replaces the removed `--no-nmap` option.
+//!
+//! ### `custom`
+//!
+//! The user have to use the `--scripts custom` commandline argument or
+//! `scripts = "custom"` in the config file.
+//!
+//! RustScan will look for the script configuration file in the user's home
+//! dir: `home_dir/.rustscan_scripts.toml`
+//!
+//! The config file have 3 optional fields: `tag`, `developer` and `port`. Just
+//! the `tag` field will be used forther in the process.
+//!
+//! RustScan will also look for available scripts in the user's home dir:
+//! `home_dir/.rustscan_scripts` and will try to read all the files, and parse
+//! them into a vector of [`ScriptFile`].
+//!
+//! Filtering on tags means the tags found in the `rustscan_scripts.toml` file
+//! will also have to be present in the [`ScriptFile`], otherwise the script
+//! will not be selected.
+//!
+//! All of the `rustscan_script.toml` tags have to be present at minimum in a
+//! [`ScriptFile`] to get selected, but can be also more.
+//!
+//! Config file example:
+//!
+//! - `fixtures/test_rustscan_scripts.toml`
+//!
+//! Metadata-only test fixture:
+//!
+//! - `fixtures/.rustscan_scripts/test_script.txt`
+//!
+//! `call_format` in script files can be of 2 variants:
+//!
+//! One is where all of the possible tags `{{script}}`, `{{ip}}` and `{{port}}`
+//! are there.
+//!
+//! - The `{{script}}` part will be replaced with the scriptfile full path
+//!   gathered while parsing available scripts.
+//! - The `{{ip}}` part will be replaced with the ip we got from the scan.
+//! - The `{{port}}` part will be reaplced with the ports separated with the
+//!   `ports_separator` found in the script file
+//!
+//! And when there is only `{{ip}}` and `{{port}}` is in the format, only those
+//! will be replaced with the arguments from the scan.
+//!
+//! This makes it easy to run a system installed command like `nmap`, and give
+//! any kind of arguments to it.
+//!
+//! If the format is different, the script will be silently discarded and will
+//! not run. With the `Debug` option it's possible to see where it goes wrong.
