find open servers on your IPv4 subnet, e.g. SSH
Project description
Find SSH servers (without NMAP)
Platform-independently find SSH servers (or other services with open ports) on an IPv4 subnet, WITHOUT NMAP.
Scan entire IPv4 subnet in less than 1 second using Python standard library asyncio
coroutines and a single thread.
The asyncio
coroutine method uses ONE thread and is significantly faster than concurrent.futures.ThreadPoolExecutor
, even (perhaps especially) with hundreds of threads in the ThreadPool.
Although speed advantages weren't seen in our testing, findssh
works with PyPy as well.
Matlab findssh.m
works similarly.
Install
Just run FindSSH.py
directly.
To allow use from other programs, you can install by:
pip install findssh
or from this repo:
pip install -e .
Usage
from command line:
findssh
Command line options
-s
check the string from the server to attempt to verify the correct service has been found-t
timeout per server (seconds) useful for high latency connection-b
baseip (check other subnet besides your own)-p
network port to scan (default 22)
Benchmark
These tests used 500 ms timeout on WiFi.
Coroutine (single thread, fast, lean, recommended):
%timeit findssh.main()
522 ms ± 1.26 ms per loop (mean ± std. dev. of 7 runs, 1 loop each)
Thread pool (100 thread max, slow, heavy):
%timeit findssh.threadpool.main()
1.39 s ± 213 ms per loop (mean ± std. dev. of 7 runs, 1 loop each)
