RustScan is a fast, modern port scanner written in Rust that can scan all 65k ports in seconds. It includes a scripting engine (Python, Lua, Shell) and automatically pipes results into Nmap for deeper scanning.

Use cases

  • scan all 65k ports quickly
  • find open ports on a target host
  • pipe open ports into nmap automatically
  • run custom scan scripts in python or lua
  • fast network reconnaissance during pentests
  • scan ipv6 and cidr ranges

When to choose

  • you need extremely fast port discovery before running nmap
  • you want an extensible scanner with a scripting engine
  • you want adaptive scanning that tunes itself to your network

When to avoid

  • you need full service/version detection out of the box - pair it with nmap
  • you need a GUI-based vulnerability scanner
  • you require stealth-only scanning with heavy evasion features
