In their own words
Naabu
Naabu is a free, open-source command-line port scanner for identifying valid ports on hosts, with SYN, CONNECT, and UDP probes. It accepts hosts, IP addresses, CIDR ranges, and ASNs directly, from a file, or through standard input. Results can be emitted as JSON, CSV, text, or standard output. It supports IPv4 and experimental IPv6 scanning, DNS port scans, passive enumeration through Shodan InternetDB, and experimental host discovery. Naabu can work with Nmap for service discovery and version detection, and discovered ports can be piped to ProjectDiscovery's httpx to identify running HTTP servers. The CLI can upload or display scan results in the ProjectDiscovery Cloud dashboard. Installation options include ready-to-run binaries, Docker, and Go. Packet capture requires libpcap on Linux or macOS, or Npcap on Windows. Service version detection needs a local Nmap service-probe database or a custom path. The README recommends running as root for best results and adjusting scan flags and rate on local systems.
