This command is using the masscan tool to perform a network scanning operation. Here's a breakdown of the command:
- "masscan" is the name of the tool being executed.
- "${10-0-0-0-16}" represents the target IP address range to scan. In this case, it seems to scan all IP addresses from 10.0.0.0 to 10.0.0.16.
- "--top-ports ${100}" specifies that the scan will only focus on the top 100 most commonly used ports on each target IP address.
- "--rate ${100000}" indicates the scan rate of 100,000 packets per second. This determines the speed at which the scan will be conducted.
Overall, the command instructs masscan to scan the IP address range 10.0.0.0 to 10.0.0.16, targeting the top 100 ports on each IP address, at a rate of 100,000 packets per second.
