What is Port Scanner?

Scan common ports on any host to identify open services. Tests 38 ports including HTTP, SSH, FTP, database, and mail.

Security Guide

Open port risks
Close unused ports — exposed Redis/MongoDB leads to data theft or RCE
Firewall rules
Use deny-by-default policies and whitelist specific ports/IPs → Policy Generator
Service binding
Bind databases, caches, admin panels to localhost (127.0.0.1) only
Brute-force protection
Enable fail2ban for SSH and login ports to auto-ban repeated failures
Admin port access
Use VPN/SSH tunneling for RDP/WinRM — never expose directly → Subdomain Scanner
