v-scan v1.1.0: Native-Level Intranet Discovery Without Root

Most network scanners require Admin/Root privileges because they need to construct raw ICMP packets. In restricted corporate environments, this is often impossible or triggers security alerts.

v-scan v1.1.0 solves this with its “Native Probing Mode.”

Why Native Probing?

#

• Zero Privilege: By invoking the system’s built-in ping command via os/exec, the tool runs with standard user permissions. No elevation needed.
• Smart Adaptability: It detects the host OS (Windows, Linux, or macOS) and automatically applies the correct ping parameters (e.g., -n vs -c).
• Optimized Concurrency: Features a tiered Goroutine architecture. The first tier scans for active gateways (.1), while the second tier probes hosts within active subnets.
• Configurable: Easily define CIDR ranges and worker counts in config.json.

Best Practices

#

In Native Mode, the scanning speed depends on the OS’s ability to spawn processes. We recommend setting gateway_workers between 64 and 128 for an optimal balance between speed and performance.
