UNHIDE-TCP(8)               System Manager's Manual              UNHIDE-TCP(8)

NAME
       unhide-tcp -- forensic tool to find hidden TCP/UDP ports

SYNOPSIS
       unhide-tcp [options]

DESCRIPTION
       unhide-tcp  is  a  forensic tool that identifies TCP/UDP ports that are
       listening but are not listed by /sbin/ss (or alternatively by /bin/net-
       stat) through brute forcing of all TCP/UDP ports available.
       Note1  :  On  FreeBSD  ans OpenBSD, netstat is allways used as iproute2
       doesn't exist on these OS. In addition, on FreeBSD,  sockstat  is  used
       instead  of fuser.  Note2 : If iproute2 is not available on the system,
       option -n or -s SHOULD be given on the command line.

OPTIONS
       -h --help
              Display help

       --brief
              Don't display warning messages, that's the default behavior.

       -f --fuser
              Display fuser output (if available) for the hidden port On Free-
              BSD,  instead of fuser command, displays the output of the sock-
              stat command for the hidden port.

       -l --lsof
              Display lsof output (if available) for the hidden port

       -n --netstat
              Use /bin/netstat instead of /sbin/ss. On system with many opened
              ports, this can slow down the test dramatically.

       -s --server
              Use  a  very quick strategy of scanning. On system with a lot of
              opened ports, it is hundreds times faster than ss method and ten
              thousands times faster than netstat method.

       -o --log
              Write  a  log  file  (unhide-tcp-AAAA-MM-DD.log)  in the current
              directory.

       -V --version
              Show version and exit

       -v --verbose
              Be verbose, display warning message (default :  don't  display).
              This option may be repeated more than once.

   Exit status:
       0      if no hidden port is found,

       4      if one or more hidden TCP port(s) is(are) found,

       8      if one or more hidden UDP port(s) is(are) found,

       12     if one or more hidden TCP and UDP ports are found.
