MinecraftScan by IsSkyfalls_

If you've found this address on your WAF or anything, your address range has been scanned by my automated scanner. The project's name is MCScan(couldn't came up with something better).

The goal of this project is to find out how many java minecraft servers are on the internet, just out of curiosity. I'm a bored student currently at home and I need something to do.

The scanning process is as follows:

  1. Establish a connection to a IPv4 address on :25565
  2. Send a new server list ping packet
  3. Send a old/legacy server list ping packet
  4. The responses are stored in a database

This scanner is in the process of scanning 0.0.0.0/0 except some private ranges marked by hand, so there's a fair chance that your service would get scanned. Don't worry, this is not a hacking or ddos attempt. Hopefully I will only need to scan your address once.

If you have any problem about this, please dont hesitate to contact me at c2t5ZmFsbHNhbHRAZ21haWwuY29t, but dont expect me to reply asap.

The result of this scan and a report would also be posted here and on reddit r/admincraft after I'm done. If you're interested, stay tuned.
