I need to test my nmap script, which crashes when many ports are open. So I need a script (python/bash) that opens n ports on a server.
How could I do that?
Thank you

Perhaps use netcat(1) (command is nc
) to listen on the ports of interest (it isn't called the swiss army knife of networking for nothing). If any ports are below 1024, you'd need to run it as root.
