WISCAN

Keywords: Network monitoring - Scanning

This tool allows to scan the entire IPv4 space in an efficient way. It relies on the Zmap (smap.io) while optimizing the randomness of the scanned IP addresses to avoid overloading destination networks and reduce the probability to scan two successive addresses of the same IP address block. Our approach to generate random permutation of IP addresses outperforms the approach used by Zmap in terms of the distribution of distance between successive IP addresses. Besides, our scan methodology can be distributed from multiple sources with few efforts.
