Implementation of Modified Network Port Scanner for Windows Based Operating Systems

“…The presented modified network port scanner for Windows based operating systems in Bulgarian Defense Institute can be used in order to be detected open unprotected network ports. In relation to this the chief information security officers will be able to take timely measures to implement protective mechanisms and policies for the protection of the information resources containing critical and confidential information about data centers in defense and security, jamming devices, bullets, ammunitions, projectiles, rocket motors and ballistic materials [1,2,15,16,17,18,19,20,21,22,27,31,32].…”

“…-Damages the reputation of a chosen victim, which can be a host, corporation, government institution, etc [1,3,4,7,9,14,15,21,22,23,24,28,30,31].…”

A Comprehensive Scanning for Open, Closed and Filtered Ports in the Computer Systems and Networks

“…In order to perform a full scan and identify open ports and services, it is necessary to perform a check for active computer systems. Active host detection provides an accurate state of the systems on the network, allowing an attacker to avoid scanning every port on every system in the IPv4 or IPv6 address space to identify whether the target host is running [19,21,22,23,27].…”

“…Nmap is a security scanner for network exploration and hacking. Through it, it is possible to discover hosts, ports and services in a computer network, thereby creating a map and topology of the computer network [3,4,6,10,11,13,22]. The scanner sends specially crafted network packets to the target host and then analyzes the received responses to achieve its goal.…”

“…These are usually the vulnerable points of the house as they are easily accessible. When it comes to computer systems and networks [14,28], ports are the doors and windows of the respective computer system [2,4,7,13,21,22,23,24,27] that an attacker uses to gain unauthorized access. A general rule of thumb for computer systems is that the more open ports a computer system has, the more vulnerable it is.…”
