Mobile Programming Pit Stop

If you're into port scanning and computer security then you might appreciate this little buster which enables you to scan remote host for open port. As with other network scanners, it assumes you have network access of some sort for its operation.

Mobile Port Scanner user interface enables you to input hostname (or ip address) of the remote host that you want to scan. Scanning is performed after pressing the "Scan" softkey button and giving permission for the midlet to access the network.

What should be Improved
Although Mobile Port Scanner has done a great job at scanning remote host, I find that the midlet can be improved by providing an option for the user to select a list (or a range) of ports prior scanning.

The midlet should also include the usual service name for the port it scanned for increased usability.

Requirements

• This application requires MIDP 2.0 / CLDC 1.0 compatible phone (most modern phone meet this requirements)
• Phone which supports SocketConnection (Nokia S40 phones do not meet this requirement)
• Telco that allows you to connect to outbound port other than port 80 and 8080
