22 Free Open-source Port Scanner for Pentesters and Cybersecurity Experts

A port scanner is a network tool used to identify open or accessible ports on a device, server, or network. It sends requests to a target’s various ports and analyzes the responses to determine which ports are open and what services are running on them. Port scanning is crucial

It is written using Node.js, Express, WebSocket and uses SQLite. It uses React for the frontend.

The app is written by Mostafa Wahied, a software engineer at Linkedin.

Features

• Automatic Port Discovery: Scans the host system to find and display running services and their ports automatically. No manual data entry is needed.
• Platform-Specific Collectors: Includes specialized collectors for Docker and TrueNAS to gather rich, contextual information from the host.
• Lightweight & Self-Contained: Runs as a single process with an embedded SQLite database. No external database dependencies like PostgreSQL or Redis are required.
• Peer-to-Peer Monitoring: Add other portracker instances as peers to view all your servers, containers, and VMs from a single dashboard.
• Hierarchical Grouping: Organize servers in a parent-child structure, perfect for nesting servers, e.g. a VM's portracker instance under its physical host.
• Enhanced TrueNAS Discovery: Providing an optional TrueNAS API key allows portracker to discover running VMs* and gather enhanced system information like the OS version and uptime.
• Modern & Responsive UI: A clean dashboard with light/dark modes, live filtering, and multiple data layout views (list, grid, table).
