This is my RegreSSHion ip scanner written in GO. It can find single ip’s, cidr’s, ip’s from a file, and checks for different ports. This will be more effective than any Python written scanner simply because you can do concurrent scans against very long lists of ip’s, and hence, it’s much Quicker. I’ve already seen a couple of long lists out there in the wild, late last night, and one was over 5million ip’s. It was enumerated with a python script, but I still prefer GO.

A recent ISACA study revealed a startling truth: in a typical large enterprise, the number of authorized SSH keys can be 5 to 50 times the number of employees. This translates to a massive, often unmanaged, attack surface that keeps CTOs and CISOs awake at night.
Think about it: each forgotten key, each over-privileged access point, is a potential entry point for attackers. This is where RegreSSHion IP Scanner emerges as a critical line of defense. This powerful tool goes beyond simple vulnerability scanning.
![regreSSHion Ip scanner](https://www.cybernewsblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/openssh-1.gif)
It actively hunts for weaknesses within your SSH infrastructure, identifying misconfigured servers, outdated software versions (especially those vulnerable to exploits like CVE-2024-6387), and potential backdoors that attackers could exploit.
This RegreSSHion ip scanner is a command-line tool that simplifies the process of identifying potentially vulnerable servers. Here’s how it works:
- User-Friendly Output: The scanner provides clear and concise output, categorizing servers as vulnerable, not vulnerable, or unknown, along with detailed information about the detected OpenSSH version.
- Customizable Options: The tool offers flexibility with options to specify the port number, connection timeout, and the level of concurrency for faster scanning.
- Open-Source and Free: We believe in empowering the community. Our scanner is completely free to use and open-source, allowing for transparency and contributions.
Who Should Use RegreSSHion IP Scanner ?
This RegreSSHion ip scanner is an essential tool for:
- System Administrators: Identify and patch vulnerable OpenSSH servers within your network.
- Security Professionals: Proactively assess and mitigate potential risks associated with CVE-2024-6387.
- Ethical Hackers: Test and improve the security posture of systems with the RegreSSHion ip scanner during penetration testing engagements.

How to run the RegreSSHion ip scanner:
- Save the code: Save the code as
ssh_scanner.go
. - Install dependencies:
go get github.com/spf13/pflag
- Compile and run:
go build ssh_scanner.go ./ssh_scanner -t 192.168.1.1 -t 192.168.1.2 -t 192.168.1.0/24 -t ip_list.txt
Command-line options:
-t
,--target
: Specify one or more target IP addresses, CIDR ranges, or file paths containing a list of IP addresses. This flag can be used multiple times.-p
,--port
: Specify the port number to scan (default: 22).-T
,--timeout
: Specify the connection timeout (default: 1s).-c
,--concurrency
: Specify the number of concurrent scans (default: 100).
Example usage:
- Scan a single IP address:
./ssh_scanner -t 192.168.1.1
- Scan multiple IP addresses:
./ssh_scanner -t 192.168.1.1 -t 192.168.1.2 -t 192.168.1.3
- Scan a CIDR range:
./ssh_scanner -t 192.168.1.0/24
- Scan IP addresses from a file:
./ssh_scanner -t ip_addresses.txt
- Specify a different port:
./ssh_scanner -t 192.168.1.1 -p 2222
- Set a custom timeout:
./ssh_scanner -t 192.168.1.1 -T 2s
- Limit concurrent scans:
./ssh_scanner -t 192.168.1.0/24 -c 50
This Go version of the script provides similar functionality to the Python version, allowing you to scan for potentially vulnerable OpenSSH servers. Remember to use this RegreSSHion ip scanner responsibly and only on systems you have permission to test.
