Naabu is a fast, lightweight port scanner written in Go that performs SYN, CONNECT, and UDP scans to enumerate open ports on hosts. It is designed to integrate with other ProjectDiscovery tools for attack surface discovery in bug bounty and penetration testing workflows.
Use cases
- scan a list of hosts for open ports quickly
- enumerate open ports for attack surface discovery in bug bounties
- run fast SYN or CONNECT scans instead of nmap
- discover open UDP ports on target hosts
- pipe port scan results into other recon tools
- exclude CDN and WAF IPs from port scans
- integrate with nmap for service version discovery
When to choose
- you need a fast, simple, resource-light port scanner for large host lists
- you want to chain port scanning into an automated recon pipeline
- you need SYN, CONNECT, and UDP scanning with JSON output
- you want nmap integration for follow-up service discovery
When to avoid
- you need deep service fingerprinting or vulnerability detection rather than port enumeration
- you require a GUI-driven scanning experience
- you need stealth features like decoy scanning or fragmentation offered by nmap
