PortScan Alert: Script for Server Open Port Security

I've shipped PortScan Alert, a small tool for checking server security. It's a simple one-liner script designed to quickly identify common insecure open ports.

The script uses the ss command to list all listening ports on a server. It then flags any ports that are commonly associated with security risks. The goal is to provide a straightforward way to detect potential vulnerabilities and remind you to secure or close these ports.

This is for anyone managing servers who wants a quick, no-frills check of their open port security. It's not a full vulnerability scanner, but a focused utility for a specific security concern.
