Port Scanner
A Port Scanner is an automated browser that prowls the internet looking for unsecured systems. A typical internet-connected firewall will log several port scanners per hour. Each port scanner is an attempt to discover an unsecured system, often for further investigation by an interested hacker. Port scanners can probe thousands of IP addresses per hour and report back information such as host operating system, running programs. This information helps the port scanner owner select machines of particular interest e.g. mail servers, home computers, corporate networks.
