• My cousin leaked my public ip address to someone

  They already had your IP. The whole internet (IPv4 adress space) can be scanned in less than one hour (see: https://zmap.io. Source: over 1 year ago

• The internet is a global village, not a metropolis

  The numbers above demonstrate that it is theoretically possible to mass scan the entire internet. Effective free-to-use tools can be used to perform mass scans, converting this academic opportunity into practice. ZMap, Masscan, and others promise to scan the entire public IPv4 address space in some ten minutes or so on a typical desktop computer with a gigabit Ethernet connection. Researchers proved that the time... - Source: dev.to / almost 2 years ago

• My First 5 Minutes On A Server; Or, Essential Security for Linux Servers

  Seconds, not minutes or days. https://zmap.io. Source: over 2 years ago

• Python Port Scanner: Faster than Nmap.

  Zmap (zmap.io) is probably the fastest port scanner. But afaik it's main usage is to scan 1 port on the whole internet instead of all ports on one IP (but you can, too). Source: over 2 years ago

• Awesome Penetration Testing

  Zmap - Open source network scanner that enables researchers to easily perform Internet-wide network studies. - Source: dev.to / over 2 years ago

• Mass Scanning

  Can I get banned for mass scanning with https://github.com/robertdavidgraham/masscan or does it slow down any other vms from other persons? Source: 11 months ago

• Has anyone ever had their homelab or network hacked? What happened?

  Nope, this doesn't work any more. Shodan checks all ports (so any attackers using data from Shodan already know which ports you have open), and tools like masscan (https://github.com/robertdavidgraham/masscan) let you portscan the entire IPv4 address space in less than 10 minutes.

• Private server intruded

  The discord user at the time used the tool "Masscan" to scan every 25565 port on the internet, he claims he was able to get the entire internet scanned in just a few minutes with a 512MB buyvm slice. Source: about 1 year ago

• My home server is frustrating me. Please help me, home server wizards.

  Changing the default port does nothing for security. It only prevents some basic brute force or default password scripts. Anyone is able to scan for it in no time anyway (https://github.com/robertdavidgraham/masscan). Source: about 1 year ago

• Should I be Concerned?

  But it should blow away the far-too-common belief that no-one's after you because you're not interesting enough. IPv4 is smaller than we think. It is not difficult to scan the entire ipv4 space in minutes. And every single one of those is going to knock your door on the way past. Source: about 1 year ago
