Kscan is a full-featured scanner developed purely in Go, capable of port scanning, protocol detection, fingerprint recognition, and brute-force cracking. It supports over 1200 protocols, 10,000+ protocol fingerprints, 20,000+ application fingerprints, and more than 10 brute-force protocols.

2 Foreword

There are already many tools for asset scanning, fingerprint recognition, and vulnerability detection on the market, including some excellent ones. However, Kscan has many different ideas.

  • Kscan aims to accept a variety of input formats without requiring users to classify scan targets beforehand (e.g., distinguishing between IPs and URLs). This eliminates extra work for users. All entries can be input and recognized normally—if it's a URL, the path is preserved for detection; if it's simply IP:PORT, protocol identification is prioritized. Currently, Kscan supports three input methods (-t, --target | -f, --fofa | --spy).

  • Kscan does not sacrifice accuracy by matching port numbers to common protocols for efficiency, nor does it only detect web assets. Instead, it places greater emphasis on accuracy and comprehensiveness. Only highly accurate protocol identification can provide a good foundation for subsequent application-layer detection.

  • Kscan does not adopt a modular approach of simply stacking functions (e.g., one module fetching titles, another fetching SMB info, etc.) and running them independently with separate outputs. Instead, it outputs asset information on a per-port basis. For example, if the port protocol is HTTP, it automatically performs subsequent fingerprint recognition and title retrieval; if the port protocol is RPC, it attempts to obtain the hostname, etc.

Build Guide

4 Getting Started

Kscan currently supports three methods of specifying scan targets:

  • -t/--target You can add the --check parameter to perform fingerprint recognition only on the specified target port; otherwise, it will perform port scanning and fingerprint recognition on the target.
IP address: 114.114.114.114
IP address range: 114.114.114.114-115.115.115.115
URL address: https://www.baidu.com
File path: /tmp/target.txt
  • --spy You can add the --scan parameter to perform port scanning and fingerprint recognition on live C-segments; otherwise, it will only detect live subnets.
[empty]: Detect the local IP and probe the B-segment of the local IP.
[all]: Probe all private IP ranges (192.168, 172.32, 10, etc.).
[IP address]: Probe the B-segment of the specified IP address.
  • -f/--fofa You can add --check to verify the liveliness of search results, or --scan to perform port scanning and fingerprint recognition on the results; otherwise, it will only return fofa search results.
Fofa search keyword: directly returns fofa search results.
