What is this?

This scans for MineCraft servers... really really fast!

Getting Started

• Clone this repository somewhere.
• Run npm install from within this directory.

Usage

Run node ./scanner.js [options] --ip <ip range>

Example

node ./scanner.js --ip 192.168.1.0/24 --port 25565-25569 --show-desc --min-players 1 --max-players 100 --out report.csv

CLI Options

• --ip <ip> - IP Address or Range of IP Addresses with CIDR notation (eg- 192.168.1.0/24)
• --port <ports> - Ports to look for minecraft servers on. (Default: 25565-25566)
• --show-desc - Enable showing of server description in output.
• --quiet - Silence terminal output.
• --min-players <count> - Minimum number of players to display.
• --max-players <count> - Only show servers with max player count or below.
• --out <filename> - Output to CSV file (Can be opened as a spreadsheet in MS Office, Google Docs, etc.)

By really fast, I mean really fast!

# time node ./scanner.js --ip 135.148.60.0/24 --show-desc --quiet --out example.csv

At this speed, a full /16 (123.45.0.0 - 123.45.255.255) will take about 13 and a half minutes to scan.

Limitations

• Fails to scan more than a /16 without kicking the bucket... so you should probably stick to that or smaller ranges.
• Working on a Minecraft bot client... doesn't work though... you can see how badly it doesn't work by using --enable-client flag... it is totally broken. Don't use it.
