masscan: Scan an IP or network subnet for port 80.

masscan

$ masscan ${select} --ports ${80}

try on your machine

This command uses the Masscan tool to scan for open ports on a target network or host.

Here is the breakdown of the command:

masscan: This is the command that executes the Masscan tool, which is a high-speed, asynchronous port scanner.
${select}: This variable should be replaced with the specific target IP range or host(s) that you want to scan. For example, you can provide an IP range like "192.168.1.1/24" or a single IP address like "10.0.0.1". This determines the range of IP addresses that will be scanned.
--ports: This option specifies the ports to scan. In this case, the port specified is ${80}, which is another variable. ${80} should be replaced with the specific port number or range of ports you want to scan. Here, port 80 is used which is the default port for HTTP web servers.

So, when you execute this command by replacing the variables, it will initiate a Masscan scan on the specified IP range or host(s) for open port 80, which is commonly used for web traffic. The output of the scan will show which IP addresses have port 80 open.
