Port scanning is a method for finding open ports on a web server. Operating an odd port on the server might occasionally lead to breaches. We can utilize a variety of automated programmes, such as Nmap, Masscan, etc., for port detection. RustScan is the program that promises the quickest result retrieval when compared to Nmap.

A 17-minute Nmap scan might be finished in about 19 seconds by using the utility RustScan. The Rust Scan tool, which was created in that language, is supported by the GitHub platform. It is free to use and open-source to use the RustScan utility. The RustScan tool can scan 65k ports in less than 7–8 seconds, which is faster than other programmes. The application Rust Scan supports IPv6 Version IP.
