Hi all
I was looking for a port scanner to see what was open on my laptop and I thought as I was learning C++ why not search for a C++ port scanner. I came across this code I can make sense of most of it but it wont compile. I have linked the -lws2_32 file that I was told is needed because I use Dev, I looked in Project -> Project Options -> Parameters -> and i went to the little folder icon and searched for the library in the lib but it wasn't there is i just went to the "Linker" edit box and typed -lws2_32 but that didn't work either. Here is the code
/*--------------------
| if your using dev-c++
| you need to link
| -lws2_32
| to your application
---------------------*/
#include <winsock2.h>
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
char IP[20];
int start, end, temp, err, nret;
SOCKET sock;
SOCKADDR_IN Info;
WSADATA wsadata;
int main()
{
err = WSAStartup(MAKEWORD(2, 2), &wsadata);
if(err != 0)
{
cout << "Error with winsock. Will Now Exit." << endl;
cin.get();
return 0;
}
cout << "Target IP: ";
cin>>IP;
cout << "Starting Port: ";
cin>>start;
cout << "End Port: ";
cin>>end;
cin.ignore();
cout << endl << endl << "Starting Scan..." << endl << endl;
temp = start;
while(temp < end)
{
sock = socket(AF_INET, SOCK_STREAM, IPPROTO_TCP);
Info.sin_family = AF_INET;
Info.sin_port = htons(start);
nret = connect(sock, NULL, NULL);
// error is for line above
if(nret != SOCKET_ERROR)
{
cout << "Port " << temp << " - OPEN! " << endl;
}
temp++;
closesocket(sock);
}
cout << endl << "Finished With Scan..." << endl;
cin.get();
return 0;
}These are the error messages I am getting on line 46 it has a comment underneath
C:\Dev-Cpp\port.cpp In function `int main()':
C:\Dev-Cpp\port.cpp [Warning] passing NULL used for non-pointer converting 3 of `int connect(SOCKET, const sockaddr*, int)'
[Linker error] undefined reference to `__cpu_features_init'
C:\Dev-Cpp\port.cpp ld returned 1 exit status
Can someone please explain what is wrong, I think it is because I am not linking that file correctly?
Cheers
