  • Stealthy, emits no network signals before a scan is started
  • Colors uses your terminal theme colors
  • Skips loopback and irrelevant adapters
  • Defaults to SSH, Telnet, HTTP, HTTPS, SMB, RDP, and more
  • Can be set to a list of custom ports that are stored for future use
  • Target mode for targeted network scans
  • Reads service banners on open ports (for example, OpenSSH or nginx versions)
  • Looks up hardware vendors:
    • Raspberry Pi, Ubiquiti, Apple and 40,000 other vendor ids
