Open source port scanner (Bugs Fixed...)

[|The|Specialist]

Incase you weren't around the first time I re-did my port scanner... it was a piece of ****. It was a tottally watered down version of the first one I made when I was a kid. The point of watering it down was to cut back on bugs. I have now re-done it the way I wanted it to be. The other was just a example I guess you could say. Well anyways now I've done that agian only I've brought back better loging features. The controls are now alot more useable. I was going to do this later but I got bored and I saw MsM's yapping about preperation before penetration. Sounds like the cool beginings of a porno movie to me.

So I decided to once agian dust off this baby. And about exactly 2 to 10 minutes later I finished and thus it had improved. P.S. Once agian... Please don't PM or e-mail me asking if you can use this in your own projects.

Everyone can use this peice of ****. I don't care. Infact take my name out of the source and call it yours if you want. Put copy rights on it... sell it as your own... I really don't give a ****. If you see anything else I post on AO that is open source then feel free to take that too. There are to many peaple in the world sueing one another or bitching about how they gave stuff openly then Joe Blow ripped from it. How the hell can you "own code" I mean did you design the syntax or the compilers... umm NO. When you were new to programing did you read books and in a way C&P from it... yeah I bet you did! Needless to say im tired of hearing about it. If you don't want anything "Stolen" then don't get into open source.

My next one may have even better loging, scan for IP ranges, come with a installer (for computers that need winsock). For the retards who asked for it... I may even add source comments which explain it better. There litterally is no limits except for time itself. Which I do not have alot of. If I did I would have already added these things.

!Enjoy!

Looks pretty cool. I took a look, not to much at the code, but good job.

-Cheers-

PS: Yah, that was useless. I actually looked at it. Very nice job.

erm, ick. Your indenting and naming conventions make me sad. The commenting of the actual code is non existent. You should be checking for 0 length strings vs empty strings...it's more efficient. Actually checking the values being fed into your program beyond looking for blanks, property set/gets, and handling bad values appropriately might be a good idea too.

Needs alot more work.

Juridian, be nice to him or he will take of your mask and poke you in the eye with his finger.

Spec. Good way to start but check out www.planetsourcecode.com or PM tampabay or myself to get info on multithreading with WS controls.

How come you didn't name any of your controls?

[groovicus]

sigh...I guess some people aren't happy unless they can find fault with others.

Thank you Specialist. I for one don't give a crap what the code looks like, how it is commented, etc...because I pretty much know zilch about programming. Specialist put this together for his own use.

I rely on others who have taken the time to donate their efforts for the good of the community. If it weren't for people like that, I wouldn't have the tools I need to pursue my interests. I would be stuck learning code, and probably would lose interest. (Yeah, I sucked at spanish also..I have some kind of a mental deficiency when it comes to anything with "language" in the name)

Oh, and if that wasn't nitpicking I was reading up above, please accept my sincerest apologies.. or know nothing of the participant's history

There is some history of a certain someone beating others over the head with an 'I'm the god of vb' stick. That is part of the reason I replied the way I did....

It is good to push out code to help others. It would be better if the proper steps were taken to help others understand that code (proper naming conventions, commenting, indentation, documentation) as well as to write it properly so others can actually do something with it and not have to play sherlock holmes first.

Besides, if I put up similar code in a forum titled 'programming security' that did not do proper input validation and so on, I'd expect to get smacked upside the head as well.

now now J, I leared a lot from looking at the source code.

It tought me exactly how to be an ub3r VB c0d3r so I can talk **** about other peoples c0d3 fu. Now I will go back to my Java programming, rename everything as button1, textbox1, textbox2, textbox3, etc etc. Then I will just remove all my error checking. I can rename my variables after my favorite actors. Then I will remove all the comments from the code so if someone else wants to edit it, it will take them a month to figure out what i did. Maybe I should move all my classes into 1 file...or just get rid of the classes and do it as 1 huge main class.... Yeah, that will be even more ub3r, right?

HANDzCLEANx > as for your little message...the only response I have is 'tough noogies'. I offered legitimate criticism of the work focusing on specific areas that needed improvement. Others who have viewed it have had much harsher opinions of it....especially considering the history of the|specialist and the way he would brag about his vb and software development prowess. I've chosen to ignore the chance to really flame him and to simply point out the spots that need work.

If you want happy rays of sunshine and handholding...go watch the carebears.
