hntool ports.py

[Pablo Borges]

Hello there,

Congratulations for the great tool. I'm using it for just a couple of days and I'm loving it. :D

I've a question about the ports module. It seems you guys use lsof to get which ports are in use by the system. The problem with this approach is that the kernel threads do not get listed on lsof, thus not revealing the ports the kernel itself allocates (rpc ports for instance).

Also, I'd really like to show which ip address they're binding to (maybe binding to 0.0.0.0 could be considered a medium or low security risk)

I wonder if you guys had this on the roadmap or something before I send you some patches.

Hi Pablo,

I had not realized this. You have a good point here. Thanks for the information. :)

We didn`t had this on a roadmap, but it would be great if we could fix this before the next release. What do you think? 

Do you need something?

Thanks again.
