- 01:10 AM SimWitty Dev - SimWitty Port Scanner: RE: PortScanner Prototype
- The source code is found in the Repository in the Sandbox. The source and destination IP is hardcoded so you will have to modify their values for your network. Make sure you are referencing packetdotnet.dll found in the repository in the depende...
