how to automate deep port scanning across ip ranges without manual effort

the problem

manually scanning ports and gathering ip info for security audits is tedious and error-prone. it requires multiple tools and a lot of time, especially when dealing with large ip ranges.

the solution

with the port-scanner-aggregate api, you can perform deep port scans, query free dns, gather ip info, and identify open ports and services across entire ip blocks. this helps you spot vulnerabilities quickly.

here’s an example curl request:

bash
curl -G https://port-scanner-aggregate.apimesh.xyz/check --data-urlencode "target=192.168.1.0/24"

the response will include a summarized list of open ports, services, and potential issues for each ip in your range.

how it works

this api queries multiple open sources for dns records, ip info, and port data. it consolidates the info into a clean report, making it easy to identify security hotspots.

try it

you can test it out with a limited number of free requests. pricing is $0.005 per call, which is affordable for regular security checks. see the docs for more details and sample responses.
