port_authority script

I recently came across the port_authority Applescript, which I found to be a useful tool for scanning specific ports on my computer. Developed using the GRC (Gibson Research Corporation) port authority website, this script efficiently checks port status and identifies whether it is closed, open or stealth.

One of the biggest advantages of this software is its ease of use. All I had to do was run the script and specify the port number that I wanted to scan. If the port was open, I would receive an alert immediately, which helped me take quick action to secure my system.

I also appreciate the fact that this software is completely free for non-commercial use, which makes it an ideal solution for personal users who are looking for a simple and effective way to monitor their system ports.

One thing to note is that this software only scans ports on your own computer, and cannot be used to scan ports on other machines. However, it does its job well, and I would recommend it to others who are looking for a reliable and free software solution to check their port status.
