	./exscan [options] <hostname> [port]
	[options]  - command line options (see list below)
	<hostname> - name of target computer (IP or name); required
	[port]     - port number(s) to scan; space-delimited list

Options:
	-f <file>	- send output to <file> file
	-h or -?	- show on-screen help (this screen)
	-l		- only list services which would be scanned
	-o		- only perform QueSO - do not port scan
	-q		- disable QueSO remote OS identification
	-v		- verbose mode
	-V		- print version information

==================================================
INTRODUCTION

exscan is a network/Internet port scanner, that 
uses the strobe-scan technique of only scanning 
certain ports, instead of a full blown port scan.  
The ports which exscan scans can be viewed in 
the file SERVICES which is distributed with 
exscan.

exscan is not only a port scanner, though.  With 
some services (such as finger and HTTP) exscan 
queries the server for information (such as 
the users on finger; and the server version on 
HTTP).  On other services (such as FTP, SMTP, 
and others) exscan displays the information 
returned by the server, sometimes called a 
banner, and usually including the 
server type and version.

Starting with the 0.3 release, exscan has the 
remote OS identification functionality from 
QueSO integrated into the exscan interface.  
Now whenever you scan a host you'll also know 
whether the target is running Linux, Windows, 
or any other operating system.

exscan aims to be a tool which can handle all 
of your port scanning and machine scanning 
needs within the comfortable interface of 
a single program.

I hope you find exscan useful.  If you have any 
suggestions (or hopefully improvements you have 
made) please send them to me.  I believe that the
best way for exscan to evolve, is for programmers
and hackers around the world to use it, break it,
and improve it.  E-mail me at:

INSTALLATION

1)  To compile, type:
	make
2)  To install, as root type:
	make install

Not too painful, eh?

==================================================
HOW-TO-USE exscan

exscan must be run with the name of the target 
computer, or the host you wish to scan.  The 
hostname can be in the form of a name (localhost) 
or IP address (127.0.0.1)  If you do not want to 
scan all of the ports exscan scans by default 
(see SERVICES), you may also list the ports you 
do want exscan to scan after the host name.  
There can be any number of ports, delimited 
(or separated) by spaces.

If you want to scan your own computer, you 
might use:
	exscan localhost

If you only want to scan your computer for 
telnet, you might use:
	exscan localhost 23

If you want to scan your computer for telnet 
and HTTP, you might use:
	exscan localhost 23 80

Also, see the exscan on-screen help for 
information on the various command-line arguments.  
Here are some examples:

To only list the services which would be 
scanned, you might use:
	exscan -l localhost

To disable QueSO functionality, you might use:
	exscan -q localhost

To only use QueSO operating system 
identification, you might use:
	exscan -o localhost

To direct output to a file, instead of the 
console or screen, you might use:
	exscan -f localhost.scan localhost

To only print the version information of 
exscan, you might use:
	exscan -V
