unhide-tcp - Man Page
forensic tool to find hidden TCP/UDP ports
Synopsis
unhide-tcp [options]
Description
unhide-tcp is a forensic tool that identifies TCP/UDP ports that are listening but are not listed by /sbin/ss (or alternatively by /bin/netstat) through brute forcing of all TCP/UDP ports available.
Note1 : On FreeBSD ans OpenBSD, netstat is always used as iproute2 doesn't exist on these OS. In addition, on FreeBSD, sockstat is used instead of fuser. Note2 : If iproute2 is not available on the system, option -n or -s SHOULD be given on the command line.
Options
- -h --help
Display help
- --brief
Don't display warning messages, that's the default behavior.
- -f --fuser
Display fuser output (if available) for the hidden port On FreeBSD, instead of fuser command, displays the output of the sockstat command for the hidden port.
- -l --lsof
Display lsof output (if available) for the hidden port
- -n --netstat
Use /bin/netstat instead of /sbin/ss. On system with many opened ports, this can slow down the test dramatically.
- -s --server
Use a very quick strategy of scanning. On system with a lot of opened ports, it is hundreds times faster than ss method and ten thousands times faster than netstat method.
- -o --log
Write a log file (unhide-tcp-AAAA-MM-DD.log) in the current directory.
- -V --version
Show version and exit
- -v --verbose
Be verbose, display warning message (default : don't display). This option may be repeated more than once.
Exit status
- 0
if no hidden port is found,
- 4
if one or more hidden TCP port(s) is(are) found,
- 8
if one or more hidden UDP port(s) is(are) found,
- 12
if one or more hidden TCP and UDP ports are found.
