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.

+"""Compare RustScan builds by scanning listeners on the loopback interface.
+
+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.

+# 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`.
+

+| 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.
+
+[Raw samples, setup and binary hashes](lazy-dns-benchmark-results.json) are
+included. Network-free regression tests verify that literal IPv4/IPv6 targets,
+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.

+
+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.

QianEricandQianEric	b46f982b9b	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.

demrom	29d85a77df	fix(main): print the no-open-ports hint once, only when nothing was found (#960 ) A subnet sweep for one port printed the batch-size hint for every host without that port. When any host answered with an open port, or a closed one under --closed, replies got through at this batch size and timeout, so batch size and timeout are unlikely to be the cause and the hint is skipped. When nothing was found it is printed once for all targets. Fixes #795	2026-11-04 09:29:01 +00:00

Autumn (Bee)	9b48f03ecd	fix(config): let command-line options override the config file (#947 ) `Opts::merge` copied every value present in the config file over the parsed command line, so e.g. `-r 8600-8650` was silently replaced by the config's `range` and the requested ports were never scanned (`-p` only survived because `PortStrategy::pick` prefers `ports` over `range`). The same happened to `-a`, `-b`, `-t`, `--tries`, `-g`, `--scripts`, `--scan-order`, the trailing nmap command and every other merged option. This contradicts the documented behaviour: "Any arguments passed directly to the binary will override the default provided in this config file". `Opts::parse()` cannot tell a value typed by the user from a clap default, so `Opts::read()` now parses through `ArgMatches` and records the ids of the arguments whose `value_source` is `CommandLine` in a new skipped `cli_args` field. `merge_required`/`merge_optional` leave those fields alone; options not given on the command line are still filled in from the config file. `--top` and `--no-config` behave as before. Add pure parsing tests (no sockets) covering both directions. Fixes #722	2026-10-03 06:41:48 +01:00

Autumn (Bee)andVrtgs	b7119f7f3e	Port to tokio (supersedes #856 , closes #944 ) (#951 ) * refactor(scanner): run the scanner on tokio instead of async-std async-std is discontinued upstream (RUSTSEC-2025-0052). tokio is already in the dependency tree through hickory-resolver, so switching adds no crate and removes 28 from Cargo.lock (async-std, async-io, polling, async-global-executor, blocking, futures-executor, ...). This is a like-for-like port. The scanner keeps its architecture and the library API keeps its signatures: - a single `FuturesUnordered` keeps at most `batch_size` sockets in flight from one future; nothing is spawned per socket; - connect and UDP receive timeouts use `tokio::time::timeout` and report the same `TimedOut` error that async-std's `io::timeout` did; - open TCP sockets are still shut down in both directions before they are closed (through `into_std()`, because tokio only has a write-side shutdown); - `--interval` sleeps with `tokio::time::sleep`. The binary runs the scan on a current-thread runtime that exists only for the scan. Address resolution (blocking DNS lookups and file reads) runs before the runtime is created and scripts run after it is dropped, so neither can stall the scan, and hickory's internal runtime is never nested in ours. Library users now have to poll the scan futures from a tokio runtime with the I/O and time drivers enabled. The crate and `Scanner` docs say so, and the crate example shows how. Builds on the earlier port in #856 by @vrtgs. Co-authored-by: Vrtgs <[email protected]> * perf(scanner): opt the scan out of tokio's cooperative budget The scan polls every in-flight socket from one future through a `FuturesUnordered`. tokio's cooperative scheduling gives that future a budget of 128 units per poll. Once it is spent, every tokio resource returns `Pending` and defers its wake-up, but `FuturesUnordered` still polls all the other ready sockets in that same poll. When thousands of connections finish together (a burst of refusals, or a batch of timeouts firing at once), the scan keeps re-polling sockets only to park them again, roughly 128 at a time. async-std had no budget. `tokio::task::unconstrained` restores that behaviour: one poll handles every ready socket. The future still returns `Pending`, and so lets the runtime poll I/O and timers, as soon as no socket is ready. * perf(scanner): send UDP probes before registering the socket with tokio tokio's socket I/O is readiness based: `UdpSocket::send` and `recv` first wait until the reactor has reported the socket ready and only then make the system call. async-io, which async-std used, made the call first and only waited after `WouldBlock`. With a straight port, every UDP probe therefore made an extra trip through the event loop before its send. Probes to closed ports on the local host also no longer finished in their first poll: there the ICMP "port unreachable" is usually queued before `send` returns, so async-std's first `recv` already saw the refusal. Bind a non-blocking std socket instead, send the probe and try the first receive straight away. The socket is only handed to tokio, and registered with its reactor, when there is really something to wait for. Errors and timeouts are reported exactly as before. * ci: add an opt-in scan benchmark comparing a change with its base The test suite deliberately never opens sockets (see #942), so nothing in CI showed whether a change to the scanner makes RustScan slower, hungrier or wrong. The tokio port (#944) needs exactly that evidence. The "Scan benchmark" workflow runs for pull requests that touch the scanner, its runtime or its dependencies, and on demand. It builds the change and its base in release mode on Linux x64/arm64, macOS and Windows runners. It then runs .github/scan-benchmark/scan_bench.py, which: - opens 315 TCP listeners and 32 UDP responders on 127.0.0.1 inside the runner. Nothing outside the runner is scanned. Ports stay out of the ephemeral range, so a scan can never connect a socket to itself; - scans them with both builds, alternating the build order between runs: full TCP sweeps with batch sizes 500/4500/10000, 8 loopback hosts, one port, a UDP sweep, and on Linux ports that iptables drops (filtered TCP and UDP, and a mixed sweep), so timeouts are measured too; - fails unless every run finds every listener and no build reports ports the base never found, or misses ports the base always found; - reports medians of throughput (from RustScan's own scan timer), wall time, time to the first open port, peak RSS, CPU time, and sampled peak descriptors and threads. The table goes to the job summary, the raw data to an artifact; - fails if the change's median throughput or wall time is more than 15% worse, or its peak RSS more than 25% worse, in any scenario. contributing.md documents the workflow as the place where scanning is measured, next to the rule that tests must not scan. * ci(scan-benchmark): temporarily compare the port's intermediate builds (to be reverted) * Revert "ci(scan-benchmark): temporarily compare the port's intermediate builds (to be reverted)" This reverts commit `30ac107c55`. * fix(scanner): let the runtime poll I/O while a batch is started The scan drives every socket from one future on a current-thread runtime, so the runtime only polls for I/O and fires timers between two polls of that future. A poll only ended once no socket was ready, which could take a long time: - starting a whole batch at once: 8,191 sockets took longer than a 500 ms timeout on the Windows runner, so connections that had succeeded during the fill were only seen after their timers fired. The benchmark found no open port at all with `-b 10000 -t 500` there; - UDP probes to closed ports on the local host finish straight away, so a whole sweep ran in one poll, and the replies from open ports waited until the end: the first open UDP port was reported 2.6x later than with async-std. `scan_sockets` now starts and finishes sockets in rounds of at most 128 (`WORK_PER_TURN`, both counted together) and calls `yield_now()` between rounds, which defers its wake-up until the runtime has polled the OS selector without blocking. Each round still keeps up to `batch_size` sockets in flight; the batch now fills over several rounds instead of in one go. The cost is one extra non-blocking `epoll_wait` (or equivalent) per 128 sockets. * fix(scanner): see ICMP errors on UDP sockets that wait in tokio A UDP probe that gets no answer straight away is handed to tokio to wait for the reply. On Linux, an ICMP "port unreachable" that arrives later only raises EPOLLERR on the socket. tokio does not count that as readable, so `UdpSocket::recv` slept until the timeout instead of returning the refusal. async-io treated EPOLLERR as readable. The straight port (before the eager probe) showed the effect: the UDP sweep of the local host took 4.1 s instead of 1.0 s, because every closed port waited for the 500 ms timeout. With the eager probe it only hit closed ports whose ICMP arrived after the first receive. That is rare on the local host but the common case for any remote host, where it turned every closed port into a timeout. `recv_or_error` waits for `READABLE \| ERROR` readiness and hands out the queued error (`take_error`), so a refused probe ends as soon as the ICMP arrives, as before. * ci(scan-benchmark): add a delayed host, fit Windows, compare misses What the first runs showed: - Only answers that arrive while the probe is still being sent were measured: on the loopback interface, refusals and ICMP errors are queued before connect()/send() returns. A remote host answers a round trip later, which is the path where tokio's UDP receive missed ICMP errors. On Linux the workflow now also sets up a host 5 ms away (a network namespace behind a netem-delayed veth pair, with ICMP rate limiting off, running its own listeners), and the benchmark sweeps it over TCP and UDP. - Windows retries a refused connection for about a second. With `-t 500`, 8,191 concurrent attempts made even the base miss listeners. Windows now uses the default timeout and sweeps 8,191 ports (2,047 for the 500-socket batch). - A build now fails the check only if it misses more listeners than the base does (any miss at all if the base misses none). Misses by the base are reported as a warning in the summary. - The macOS runner has no `net.inet.icmp.icmplim`, which failed the "describe" step, and caps descriptors at 10240, so the 65536 limit could not be set. The describe step can no longer fail the job, and 10240 is tried as well. * docs(address): say that parse_addresses must not run inside async code hickory's synchronous resolver runs its own tokio runtime, and tokio panics when a runtime is dropped inside an asynchronous context. That was already true before, but library users now have to run the scanner on tokio, so they are more likely to call `parse_addresses` from async code. Document the two safe ways: call it before starting the runtime (as the binary does) or through `spawn_blocking`. --------- Co-authored-by: Vrtgs <[email protected]>	2026-10-02 17:45:31 +09:00
