Scan tool for checking the status of the port development company PKP is based on a set of tools Nmap (Network mapper). This set of software solutions produces four types of audits, including through the search for all open ports on the host and by detecting open ports on a server controlled by members of your system. By the way, many malware- worms use similar to the algorithm, for countering which needs a port scanner.
Complex Nmap-scanning of can be checked in 4 modes:
Ping Scan - "pinging", checking of the availability of the server at the specified IP address or hostname.
Port Range - scanning of a certain number of ports. Total port 65535, to scan the user specifies a range of ports, for example: 5000-10000.
Top 75 mode - scan most common ports (25, 80, 443 and others).
Top 25 + full info - scanning of 25 major ports with the issuance of the complete information about the ports (the state, the service port version).
* In addition, the port scanner from PKP detects the operating system, which is controlled by the server, and the current status of the host.
