mpscan is a parallel network scanner that checks to see which ports are open. It uses select() to increase its speed. It was designed to rapidly scan large networks, but it also works with a single IP.

usage: mpscan [-V] | [-h] | [-v] [-t sec] [-p N] [-e N] IP

-V              Prints Version
-h              show this usage message
-v              verbose, -vvv more verbose
-t              timeout sec
-p              first port
-e              last port
IP:             list or range 

example:        mpscan -p 22 192.168.1.1 - 192.168.1.10
                mpscan -p 53 -e 101 127.0.0.1
