Unicornscan is an open source modular, flexible, stateless Transmission Control Protocol/User Datagram Protocol scanner for Linux and Unix. Unicornscan is a new shift in paradigm relative to other network scanners like Nmap. It has a custom forged TCP stack, it is modular allowing plug-ins and ability to be used in a distributed client/server fashion. It is based on the ideas of scanrand and their previous attempts at udp scanners.
