Find all open ports fast with Rustscan, automatically pipe them into Nmap. Built with Rust.

🔧 Cargo (Universal)	Arch	HomeBrew	Kali / Debian
cargo install rust_scan	yay rustscan	brew install rustscan	dpkg -i rustscan.deb

Note: You must have Nmap installed.

🤔 What is this?

1. Find ports quickly using Rustscan (26 seconds).
2. Automatically runs nmap -A -p $ports -vvv on those ports.
3. Profit???

Rustscans only job is to reduce the friction between finding open ports and inputting them into nmap.

✨ Features

• Scans all 64k ports in 26 seconds (on 1k threads).
• 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!

🔭 Why RustScan?

Why spend time running fast scans and manually copying the ports, or waiting for a 20 minute scan to finish when you can just do all 64k ports in less than a minute?

🔬 Nmap with and without RustScan

Name	⚡ Nmap with RustScan ⚡	🐢 Nmap 🐢

Time	39 seconds	17 minutes and 41 seconds
Setup	Set threads to 1000	Run nmap with -A for all scripts Run Nmap with -p- for all ports

_{Note The nmap command used was the same for both of them. Nmap -A.}

🙋 FAQ

I think this would be a great port scanner on its own without Nmap!

No. If you want a fast port scanner, use Masscan.

I have this great idea for a script to get information on ports / hosts

Great. Contribute it to Nmap! :D

Not everyone has nmap installed....

If you're a pentester, then yes, you have Nmap installed.

I want to contribute!

Great! I'd love some help with this. Read the contributing.md file file for more information!

📖 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.

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.

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.
