Problem:- I want my program to search around 100IP address and 30 ports on each the problem with this is that it takes forever to complete can anyone help in anyway (Visual Basic)

Why not just have the list of the valid ip who are knowingly acting as servers listed on a dynamically updated page somewhere. And why do you need to scan the ports? Since those computers know that you are going to accessing them with their full concent they can just use one particular port (or have the port their leaving open for your communication listed on the webpage)

unless of course he''s writing a port scanner for malicious reasons
then the target computer wont know which port he''s after. and
he wont know which port to access.

Unfortunately we don't have a "Kiddie wannabe Hackers" forum to answer that kind of question. (And if we did the residents would be too elitist to make VB hacking source for little kids)

Software already exists that does that you just have to know where to look and pretend that they aren''t filled with backdoors. I wrote my own piece of software to do that sort of thing (because I don''t trust hackers) in VB but no you can''t have the source

If you want it to go faster you''re going to need to learn how to run multiple instances of Winsock so you can check more than one port at a time.

It''s not a hacking proggy It''s a Chat proggy for collage, the last one I released scanned IP''s and listed all servers worked great! but then the admin blocked the port it used so I want to make it use more than 1 port so it is harder to block (Not or never have been a hacker)

If you admin blocked it, wouldn''t that give you some clue that its not allowed. Trust me on this one, even though you may think that the admin is just a boogieman trying to ruin everyones fun, he''s not. He''s got a responsiblity to keep that network running properly, and he can''t do this if a bunch of kids keep trying to find ways of going behind his back.
