port-checker performs TCP connect probes against a host you name. Use it on machines and networks you own or have explicit permission to test. Unauthorized scanning can violate the law and the target's acceptable-use policy.
The tool is deliberately narrow:
- TCP connect only (no stealth SYN scan, no UDP, no payloads)
- Specific ports, not a full 1–65535 sweep by default
- Hard cap of 4096 ports per invocation
