The Road Ahead: Future of KPortScan (3.x Roadmap)

The developers have hinted at upcoming features for version 3.1 and 3.2: kportscan 3.0

Installation Guide (Windows 10/11 & Server 2022)

KPortScan 3.0 requires no external dependencies (no WinPcap or Npcap needed for basic scans, but SYN scans require the included KPCap driver). Cloud scan profiles – Shared community port lists

Step-by-step:

  1. Download the official installer from the developer’s repository (ensure SHA-256 checksum verification).
  2. Disable Windows Defender temporarily (or add an exclusion) – some security products flag port scanners as hacktools. This is a false positive.
  3. Run the installer as Administrator – required for installing the KPCap driver for SYN scans and raw sockets.
  4. Choose components:
    • Standard scanner (always installed)
    • KPCap driver (recommended)
    • KPScript engine (optional but powerful)
  5. Complete installation and launch KPortScan 3.0 from the Start Menu.

First-run note: On Windows 11, you may need to allow “Raw Socket Access” in Windows Security > App & Browser Control > Exploit Protection > Network Security Settings.
