This should be the new #WebPlatform standard: deny by default. A handful of allow-by-default exceptions for PC vendors’ support sites that connect to a helper service on a specific port to identify the model and installed driver versions. One of very few legitimate uses.

O Brave, our network's savior and friend.
We bow at your feet, our issues to mend.
Allowing us to choose where we go
Standing as defenders against those who port scan and so.
Our thanks and gratitude you shall always receive.
For giving us control and the power to believe.

I still don't understand why people like to use telnet to check for port TCP connectivity when nc is available on any DECENT Linux distro:

```shell
nc --wait 5 --idle-timeout 5 $machine $port
```
(Or better use --allowfile)

Just put on a for loop, add water and presto, instant poor man TCP port tester.

Portscanのスパム3匹目をめっけ。
30000～50000番台のポートを探りにくるのね。
某レンタルサーバー屋さんのIPを騙ってるわ。
そんなとこ、外部に開けてるわけないわよん。

Portscanのスパム2匹目を処置。
壁を頑丈にするのも、鯖缶修行のうち。

２日ぶりにPortscanをかけてきたスパマー。Whoisに聞くと、国内の超有名レンタルサーバー屋さんからだけど、どうせIPを騙っているのでしょうね。でも同一IPで2回目だから、ブロックしておきます。

DBへのddos攻撃か。。。
そいや、このおひとり様鯖を立てて最初の2日間ほどは、国内からのportscanが入りましたね。ufwがlogを吐いていました。😜

anybody here use #masscan on internal pen tests if the network is big? I'm looking for advice on what rate you might run at. I'm not worried about noise, I am worried about swamping the network.

Ever end up with #portscan results and would like to create URL’s out of it with the right (http|https) prefix, for example to feed it to #nuclei ? I’ve created a quick tool (multithreaded) to help out! https://github.com/Retrospected/urlinator #urLinator

Yesterday a ~6000 members #botnet started to #portscan hosts en masse. Watch out.
