In another draft of his article about Scheme programming, jacob shows how he approaches the problem of writing a TCP port scanner. That seemed like a fun problem, and so I whipped up this version in one of my favorite programming languages, Haskell:
module Main (main) where
import Control.Concurrent
import Control.Exception
import Data.Maybe
import Network
import Network.BSD
import System.Environment
import System.Exit
import System.IO
main :: IO ()
main = do
args <- getArgs
case args of
[host, from, to] -> withSocketsDo $
scanRange host [read from .. read to]
_ -> usage
usage = do
hPutStrLn stderr "Usage: Portscan host from_port to_port"
exitFailure
scanRange host ports =
mapM (threadWithChannel . scanPort host . fromIntegral) ports >>=
mapM_ hitCheck
where
hitCheck mvar = takeMVar mvar >>= maybe (return ()) printHit
printHit port = putStrLn =<< showService port
threadWithChannel action = do
mvar <- newEmptyMVar
forkIO (action >>= putMVar mvar)
return mvar
scanPort host port =
withDefault Nothing (tryPort >> return (Just port))
where
tryPort = connectTo host (PortNumber port) >>= hClose
showService port =
withDefault (show port) $ do
service <- getServiceByPort port "tcp"
return (show port ++ " " ++ serviceName service)
withDefault defaultVal action =
handle (const $ return defaultVal) action
-- Local Variables: ***
-- compile-command: "ghc -o Portscan --make Portscan.hs" ***
-- End: ***Example usage:
$ ./Portscan internalhost.moertel.com 1 1000
