Port scanning is the cornerstone of active reconnaissance. As a concept, it maps networks, hosts, and services. As a technique, it fuels cyber defense and attack strategies. Yet, traditional scanners follow predictable patterns. Thus, scanning is detectable by machine learning enabled intrusion detection systems.
Enter PoPoS, the Polymorphic Port Scanner.
This scanner defies conventional detection paradigms. PoPoS alters its behavior—timing, packet sequencing, and signature during and between operations. The combination of techniques allows PoPoS to invisibly scan and fingerprint endpoints.

-
Discuss use cases for network defense and offense.
The implications of a polymorphic port scanner are both profound and urgent. For defenders, it represents a wake-up call; for attackers, a blueprint for the future.
