A Golang Port Scanner from scratch, using TDD

This is a simple port scanner that is able to map a large range of protocols. Using good design patterns for concurrency, like fan-in/fan-out, fixtures, goldenfiles and test helpers for tests, we create nice unit tests and acquire good performance in scanning process. All pakcages are covered by TDD, even when using tcp protocol for tests.

• Install

$ go install github.com/jcbritobr/portscanner@latest

• Build

$ go build -v

• Test
  The tests are using patterns like golden files, fixtures and test helpers. The golden files have inside it all output scenarios. If tests failure happens in diffrent machines(because of port setup), just update the golden files.

$ go test ./... -cover -update

then test portscanner again

$ go test ./... -cover

• Usage

$ ./portscanner -h
Usage of ./portscanner:
  -end int
        -end is the end of port range (default 80)
  -host string
        -host is the target host to be scaned (default "127.0.0.1")
  -start int
        -start is the start of port range (default 1)
  -t int
        -t is the value of connection timeout used (default 100)
  -workers int
        -workers is the number of concurrent process (default 1)

$ ./portscanner -start 1 -end 2000 -workers 5 -host www.google.com
