unhide-tcp8

Usage

Overview

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.
