BreachNet: Open-Source Network Mapping & Scanning Tool
An open-source network mapping and scanning tool providing Nmap-like functionality for discovering hosts, ports, services, and vulnerabilities on a network.
What is BreachNet?
BreachNet is an open-source network mapping and scanning tool developed as an alternative to Nmap. It provides much of the same functionality as Nmap for discovering hosts, open ports, services, and potential vulnerabilities on a network.
Key features of BreachNet include:
- Host discovery - it can ping sweep a network to find live hosts.
- Port scanning - it supports TCP connect, SYN, and UDP scanning to find open ports and determine port/service relationships.
- Service and version detection - it can fingerprint services running on discovered ports to identify service names and versions.
- OS detection - it can fingerprint operating systems running on discovered hosts.
- Vulnerability scanning - it has some basic vulnerability scripting support for detecting potential vulnerabilities on found services.
- Custom scripting - users can write their own scripts to perform additional scanning tasks.
- Command line and GUI interfaces - it provides both a command line interface as well as a graphical user interface.
Overall, BreachNet provides network mapping and scanning capabilities in an open-source tool comparable to the popular Nmap scanner.
