Unicornscan Download - Fast Port Scanner


It has always been a favourite of mine, especially for UDP scanning and scanning large networks (and getting it done fast).

In some ways the implementation is better than Nmap – in some ways worse. Both are great tools and for me, they work well hand in hand, both have certain advantages over the other in different situations.

I did get halfway to writing an article about Nmap vs Unicornscan for large network scanning.

Benefits of Unicornscan

It is an attempt at a User-land Distributed TCP/IP stack. It is intended to provide a researcher with a superior interface for introducing a stimulus into and measuring a response from a TCP/IP enabled device or network. Although it currently has hundreds of individual features, a main set of abilities include:

  • Asynchronous stateless TCP scanning with all variations of TCP Flags.
  • Asynchronous stateless TCP banner grabbing
  • Asynchronous protocol-specific UDP Scanning (sending enough of a signature to elicit a response).
  • Active and Passive remote OS, application, and component identification by analyzing responses.
  • PCAP file logging and filtering
  • Relational database output
  • Custom module support
  • Customized data-set views

Anyway, the good news is it has finally been updated and v0.4.7 is available and released for download.

Your Unicornscan download of the fast port scanner is here:

    I have spent the last hour working on getting the source installed. Unfortunately, configure is looking for something that apparently cannot be found:

    checking for PostgreSQL… configure: error: cant find PostgreSQL header libpq-fe.h

    I have to wonder if it is due to the fact that I went the lazy way and just did apt-get install for PostgreSQL. Until I get this figured out, I will not be able to provide my initial thoughts. meh.

    If you install the postgres-devel package, Unicornscan’s configure should be able to find libpq-fe.h. That should only be required if you’re using –with-pgsql in the configure. If you drop the –with-pgsql, you can compile unicornscan without database output support.

    apt-get install libpcap0.8 libpcap0.8-dev flex-old bison libnet1 libnet1-dev

    That did it for me after an Etch minimal setup.

    Unicornscan wants to install to /usr/local/libexec/ by default – just create the dir if you’re lazy and you should be done ;)

    I’m currently in the process of rebuilding my network at home, so unfortunately I don’t have a spare Linux box to test this on.

    I was wondering about Sir Henry’s pgsql tho.. Why the pgsql and not mysql by default…

    @goodpeople:

    I am still having library issues with getting this set up, even without the postgres flag being removed from configure. I did try with MySQL (since it does reference that you are not using it in the configure results), but got a similar devel error as with postgres. Due to other items of higher priority (ramping up for my new job), I have let it lie for now.

    @Sir Henry,

    Can’t you use RPM’s with Ubuntu?

  7. Sir Henry January 11, 2008 at 11:13 pm #

    Yes, I can, but I wish to exhaust myself with trying to get it to work from source. That is how I have always been. Given, it has helped me learn a lot, but I am certain that I have lost a lot of hair and time over it.

    @Sir Henry,

    Ah, nice, another hardliner.. :-)

    Wow! Looks like a great program. I have been using nmap for quite some time and now it seems like theres something out there that is even better. Thanks darknet!
