hi,
I wanna write a simple and fast port scanner which scans one host for some open ports. I need to do this in a SYN scan mode which is described as follows:
'This technique is often referred to as half-open scanning, because you don't open a full TCP connection. You send a SYN packet, as if you are going to open a real connection and then wait for a response. A SYN/ACK indicates the port is listening (open), while a RST (reset) is indicative of a non-listener. If no response is received after several retransmissions, the port is marked as filtered. The port is also marked filtered if an ICMP unreachable error (type 3, code 1,2, 3, 9, 10, or 13) is received.'
But a simple question How do I send a SYN packet ? Google didn't want to drop a usefull answer for that question so I hope I can get here some infos about that.
If you want to write one yourself: then read the source code for nmap to see
how it's done. And buy yourself a copy of the Stevens networking book and
read about raw sockets.
If you want to do this from Ruby, you'll probably have to work it out for
yourself, unless you can find some sample code which uses raw sockets.
Regards,
Brian.

Depends on what you're trying to do. If you only want to manage systems in
your own environment, just do a full TCP connect. (There is a class in
EventMachine that was designed exactly for this kind of test, and it's
extremely fast.)
If you're looking for open ports out in the internet that you intend to
SYN-flood, you came to the wrong list.

yes thanks but I don't wanna use nmap I want to write it by my own...
the only problem I have is: "You send a SYN packet, as if you are going to open a real connection and then wait for a response[..]" but how can I send a SYN packet with ruby? I also know how to use telnet and sockets and how I could simply connect with tcp to a certain port but how can I send such a SYN packet ?!?
Is this at all possible with ruby or is this too low level?

As Brian said, read up on raw sockets....
If you want some code to help construct raw IP packets, take a look at some of the examples in bit-struct[1], which is sort of a wrapper over #pack/#unpack. Particularly, look at examples/raw.rb. You'll have to find out elsewhere what goes into a SYN packet, though.
