Description
Due to the scanner already being able to scan all 65k ports in an absurdly short amount of time, the key to optimizing the speed and efficiency of the application without causing client/server issues is to control the timing and delay between outbound packets to prevent the server from being overwhelmed.
A good start would be to actively track and calculate the averages between a SYN/ACK response and have the application automatically adjust the timing/delay based off of this average, and possibly have further controls to allow quicker or slower outbound packets based on the situation.
May also have further optimization by analyzing and checking the target OS's networking capabilities, possibly different OS have a better tolerance for faster responses.
