It can be used from the command line, or from a PostgreSQL-powered frontend. We will show you the command-line version here. The following chart is a concordance from Nmap users from the documentation on the Unicorn-Scan project website:

A basic connect scan to find all open ports in a range using Unicorn-Scan is unicornscan -i eth0 -Ir 160 -E 10.0.0.012/32:20-600. If we break this up into sections, the command is as follows:

• i eth0: It defines the interface eth0 on the Kali machine
• -Ir 160: Its has two options in a group
  • -I: It is telling Unicorn-Scan to print to screen immediately as open ports are found

• -E 10.0.0.012/32:20-600: It is the target range
• The Classless Inter-Domain Routing (CIDR) code shows a network mask of /32 bits, which means a single IP...
