NAME

       unhide-tcp — forensic tool to find hidden TCP/UDP ports

SYNOPSIS

       unhide-tcp [options]

DESCRIPTION

       unhide-tcp is a forensic tool that identifies TCP/UDP ports that are listening but are not
       listed by /sbin/ss (or alternatively by /bin/netstat) through brute forcing of all TCP/UDP
       ports available.
       Note  : If iproute2 is not available on the system, option -n or -s SHOULD be given on the
       command line.

OPTIONS

       -h --help
              Display help

       --brief
              Don't display warning messages, that's the default behavior.

       -f --fuser
              Display fuser output (if available) for the hidden port

       -l --lsof
              Display lsof output (if available) for the hidden port

       -n --netstat
              Use /bin/netstat instead of /sbin/ss. On system with many opened  ports,  this  can
              slow down the test dramatically.

       -s --server
              Use  a very quick strategy of scanning. On system with a lot of opened ports, it is
              hundreds times faster than ss method and ten thousands times  faster  than  netstat
              method.

       -o --log
              Write a log file (unhide-tcp-AAAA-MM-DD.log) in the current directory.

       -V --version
              Show version and exit

       -v --verbose
              Be  verbose, display warning message (default : don't display).  This option may be
              repeated more than once.

   Exit status:
       0      if no hidden port is found,

       4      if one or more hidden TCP port(s) is(are) found,

       8      if one or more hidden UDP port(s) is(are) found,

       12     if one or more hidden TCP and UDP ports are found.
