A fast port scanner written in go with a focus on reliability and simplicity. Designed to be used in combination with other tools for attack surface discovery in bug bounties and pentests.
Naabu is a port scanning tool written in Go that allows you to enumerate valid ports for hosts in a fast and reliable manner. It is a really simple tool that does fast SYN/CONNECT scans on the host/list of hosts and lists all ports that return a reply.
Features
- Fast And Simple SYN/CONNECT probe based scanning.
- Optimized for ease of use and lightweight on resources
- Automatic handling of duplicate hosts between multiple subdomains
- NMAP Integration for service discovery
- Piped input / output support for integrating in workflows
- Multiple Output formats supported (JSON, File, Stdout)
- Multiple input support including HOST/IP/CIDR notation.

Installation Instructions
Download the ready to run binary / docker or install with GO
Before installing naabu, make sure to install libpcap
library with apt install -y libpcap-dev
on Linux
GO111MODULE=on go get -v github.com/projectdiscovery/naabu/v2/cmd/naabu
Running Naabu
To run the tool on a target, just use the following command.
naabu -host hackerone.com
This will run the tool against hackerone.com. There are a number of configuration options that you can pass along with this command. The verbose switch -v
can be used to display verbose information.
naabu -host hackerone.com

[INF] Running SYN scan with root privileges
[INF] Found 4 ports on host hackerone.com (104.16.100.52)
hackerone.com:80
hackerone.com:443
hackerone.com:8443
hackerone.com:8080
The ports to scan for on the host can be specified via -p
parameter. It takes nmap format ports and runs enumeration on them.
naabu -p 80,443,21-23 -host hackerone.com
By default, the Naabu checks for nmap’s Top 100
ports. It supports following in-built port lists –
-top-ports 100
=> Scans for nmap top 100 port-top-ports 1000
=> Scans for nmap top 1000 port-p -
=> Scans for all ports from1-65535
.
You can also specify specific ports which you would like to exclude from the scan.
naabu -p - -exclude-ports 80,443
The o
flag can be used to specify an output file.
naabu -host hackerone.com -o output.txt
To run the naabu on a list of hosts, -iL
option can be used.
naabu -iL hosts.txt
You can also get output in json format using -json
switch. This switch saves the output in the JSON lines format.
naabu -host hackerone.com -json
{"host":"hackerone.com","ip":"104.16.99.52","port":8443}
{"host":"hackerone.com","ip":"104.16.99.52","port":80}
{"host":"hackerone.com","ip":"104.16.99.52","port":443}
{"host":"hackerone.com","ip":"104.16.99.52","port":8080}
The ports discovered can be piped to other tools too. For example, you can pipe the ports discovered by naabu to naabu
which will then find running http servers on the host.
echo hackerone.com | naabu -silent | naabu -silent
http://hackerone.com:8443
http://hackerone.com:443
http://hackerone.com:8080
http://hackerone.com:80
If you want a second layer validation of the ports found, you can instruct the tool to make a TCP connection for every port and verify if the connection succeeded. This method is very slow, but is really reliable. This is similar to using nmap as a second layer validation
naabu -host hackerone.com -verify
The speed can be controlled by changing the value of rate
flag that represent the number of packets per second. Increasing it while processing hosts may lead to increased false-positive rates. So it is recommended to keep it to a reasonable amount.
Configuration File
We have added support for config file, it allows each and every flag to define in config file, so you don’t have to write them everytime, it’s optional and not used on default run, default location of config file is $HOME/.config/naabu/naabu.conf
, custom config file can be provided using config
flag.
Example Config File
# Number of retries
# retries: 1
# Packets rate
# rate: 100
# Timeout is the seconds to wait for ports to respond
# timeout: 5
# Hosts are the host to find ports for
# host:
# - 10.10.10.10
# Ports is the ports to use for enumeration
# ports:
# - 80
# - 100
# ExcludePorts is the list of ports to exclude from enumeration
# exclude-ports:
# - 20
# - 30
# Verify is used to check if the ports found were valid using CONNECT method
# verify: false
# Ips or cidr to be excluded from the scan
# exclude-ips:
# - 1.1.1.1
# - 2.2.2.2
# Top ports list
# top-ports: 100
# Attempts to run as root
# privileged: true
# Drop root privileges
# unprivileged: true
# Excludes ip of knows CDN ranges
# exclude-cdn: true
# SourceIP to use in TCP packets
# source-ip: 10.10.10.10
# Interface to use for TCP packets
# interface: eth0
# WarmUpTime between scan phases
# warm-up-time: 2
# nmap command to invoke after scanninginvoke after scanning
# nmap: nmap -sV
Nmap Integration
We have integrated nmap support with nmap
flag, in config file you can define any nmap
command you wish to run on the result of naabu, make sure you have nmap
installed to use this feature.
To make use of nmap
flag, make sure to remove the comments from the config file at $HOME/.config/naabu/naabu.conf
We also added nmap-cli
flag that let you run nmap commands directly on the results of naabu without making use of config file.
echo hackerone.com | naabu -nmap-cli 'nmap -sV -oX naabu-output'

CDN Exclusion
Naabu also supports excluding CDN IPs being port scanned. If used, only 80
and 443
ports get scanned for those IPs. This feature can be enabled by using exclude-cdn
flag.
Currently cloudflare
, akamai
, incapsula
and sucuri
IPs are supported for exclusions.
Notes
- Naabu is designed to scan ports on multiple hosts / mass port scanning.
- As default naabu is configured with a assumption that you are running it from VPS.
- We suggest to tune the flags / rate if running naabu from local system.
- For best results, run naabu as root user.
