Simple TCP/IP Port Scanner

Simple TCP/IP port scanner: is a high speed port scanner, implemented in pure Ruby (single file source). It may disclose all those ports too which nmap may not show you; an example of Ruby’s performance at system level develpment and that too even being scripting and, or interpreted progamming language!

Usage

    $ pscan <hostname|hostaddress> [highest_port_number]
