root@kali:~# masscan --help MASSCAN is a fast port scanner. The primary input parameters are the IP addresses/ranges you want to scan, and the port numbers. An example is the following, which scans the 10.x.x.x network for web servers: masscan 10.0.0.0/8 -p80 The program auto-detects network interface/adapter settings. If this fails, you'll have to set these manually. The following is an example of all the parameters that are needed: --adapter-ip 192.168.10.123 --adapter-mac 00-11-22-33-44-55 --router-mac 66-55-44-33-22-11 Parameters can be set either via the command-line or config-file. The names are the same for both. Thus, the above adapter settings would appear as follows in a configuration file: adapter-ip = 192.168.10.123 adapter-mac = 00-11-22-33-44-55 router-mac = 66-55-44-33-22-11 All single-dash parameters have a spelled out double-dash equivalent, so '-p80' is the same as '--ports 80' (or 'ports = 80' in config file). To use the config file, type: masscan -c <filename> To generate a config-file from the current settings, use the --echo option. This stops the program from actually running, and just echoes the current configuration instead. This is a useful way to generate your first config file, or see a list of parameters you didn't know about. I suggest you try it now: masscan -p1234 --echo
