The Modern, Blazing Fast Port Scanner. Find ports quickly (3 seconds at its fastest). Run scripts through our scripting engine (Python, Lua, Shell supported).

You can install RustScan’s binary from our releases page

We would prefer you to install with a package manager so it is tested and works for your system.

RustScan is in many repositories already. Install it with whatever tools you wish:

RustScan only officially supports Cargo installations, if you want to use that please install Rust and then cargo install rustscan

Example installations include:

MacOS:

  brew install rustscan
