How to install and use PScan – Free Multithreaded TCP Port Scanner

What is PScan?

PScan is a multi-threaded port scanner that can scan 65535 port numbers. It is very efficient, super fast compare to Nmap but provide a limited set of features.

Features :

  • Perform SYN scan
  • Define port ranges to scan (by default attempt to scan all)
  • Resolves port number to known services.

How to install PScan?

There isn’t any binary available for PScan so we have to compile it from the source code. Before compiling it, you need to make sure you have libpcap library installed at your system.
This HowTo can be followed for any linux distro e.g CentOS, BackTrack, LinuxMint etc.
Dependency
aptitude install libpcap-dev

cd /tmp/
wget http://www.secpoint.com/freetools/threaded-syn-port-scanner-2.0.zip
unzip threaded-syn-port-scanner-2.0.zip
cd threaded-syn-port-scanner-2.0/
make
cp -a pscan /bin/

It is cooked.

Now simple run;
pscan

How to use PScan?

PScan can be use with following options;

Example :
pscan 10.0.54.23 -p 1-65535 -n 20 -w 2000 -r -M

-p : Define port ranges
-n : Number of threads that runs ports scan
-w : Max time to wait for next port scan
-r : If you want to resolve port number to known service name e.g 53 # DNS
-M : Lookup for Mac Address.

Note : You must provide IP address to scan it. You can use nslookup or dig command line utility.

If you have any question or suggestion feel free to comment.

Install Mod_Proxy Apache module on WHM/CPanel CeEntOS Linux Server Without Recompiling Apache

Scenario :
Our client required mod_proxy module for their application. Apache is already installed on WHM/CPanel CentOS Linux Server that run few websites. We thought recompiling Apache is not a good option that will require a down time for maintenance window and a small error can put our contract at risk and lost for our client.

What is ModProxy?

Mod_proxy is an Apache module that implements a proxy for your Apache web server. It is divided into further modules for different purposes. For example mod_proxy_http, mod_proxy_connect, mod_proxy_ftp, mod_proxy_ajp, mod_proxy_balancer. In our case we will compile few of them that are required for our application.

Installation :

Check Apache current version :

/usr/local/apache/bin/httpd -v

Output :
Server version: Apache/2.2.19 (Unix)
Server built: Jul 4 2011 06:24:27

Go to http://archive.apache.org/dist/httpd/ and pick your matched apache version. In our case it is Apache 2.2.19

cd /tmp/
wget http://archive.apache.org/dist/httpd/httpd-2.2.19.tar.bz2
tar -jxvf httpd-2.2.19.tar.bz2
cd httpd-2.2.19
./configure --enable-mods-shared="proxy proxy_http proxy_connect"

Note : You can add additional mod_proxy modules inside inverted commas.
In our case "proxy proxy_http proxy_connect"

cd modules/proxy/
/usr/local/apache/bin/apxs -i -a -o mod_proxy.so -c mod_proxy.c proxy_util.c
/usr/local/apache/bin/apxs -i -a -o mod_proxy_http.so -c mod_proxy_http.c proxy_util.c
/usr/local/apache/bin/apxs -i -a -o mod_proxy_connect.so -c mod_proxy_connect.c proxy_util.c
/etc/init.d/httpd restart

Installation is completed.

You can verify modules under Apache modules directory.

ls -l /usr/local/apache/modules/mod_proxy*

Output :
/usr/local/apache/modules/mod_proxy_connect.so
/usr/local/apache/modules/mod_proxy_http.so
/usr/local/apache/modules/mod_proxy.so
