<p>The ZMap Project is a collection of open source tools for
performing large-scale studies of hosts and services on the Internet.
The project was started in 2013 with the release of ZMap, a fast
single-packet scanner that enabled scanning the entire public IPv4
address space on a single port in under 45 minutes. A year later, we
released ZGrab, a Go application-layer scanner that works in tandem
with ZMap. Since then, the team has expanded and we have built nearly
a dozen open source tools and libraries for performing large-scale
Internet measurements. Continued development is supported by the
National Science Foundation (NSF). The core team can be reached at
<a href="mailto:team@zmap.io">team@zmap.io</a>.</p>
<p class="last">We have published several papers that describe how the suite of ZMap tools are architected:</p>

<h2>ZMap</h2>
<h3><a href="https://zmap.io/paper.pdf">ZMap: Fast Internet-Wide Scanning and its Security Applications</a></h3>
<p>Zakir Durumeric, Eric Wustrow, and J. Alex Halderman<br/>
22nd USENIX Security Symposium, August 2013</p>
<p class="abstract">Internet-wide network scanning has numerous
security applications, including exposing new vulnerabilities and
tracking the adoption of defensive mechanisms, but probing the
entire public address space with existing tools is both difficult
and slow. We introduce ZMap, a modular, open-source network scanner
specifically architected to perform Internet-wide scans and capable
of surveying the entire IPv4 address space in under 45 minutes from
user space on a single machine, approaching the theoretical maximum
speed of gigabit Ethernet. We present the scanner architecture,
experimentally characterize its performance and accuracy, and
explore the security implications of high speed Internet-scale
network surveys, both offensive and defensive. We also discuss best
practices for good Internet citizenship when performing
Internet-wide surveys, informed by our own experiences conducting a
long-term research survey over the past year.</p>
<h3><a href="https://jhalderm.com/pub/papers/zmap10gig-woot14.pdf">Zippier ZMap: Internet-Wide Scanning at 10 Gbps</a></h3>
<p>David Adrian, Zakir Durumeric, Gulshan Singh, and J. Alex Halderman<br/>
USENIX Workshop on Offensive Technologies (WOOT), August 2014</p>
<p class="abstract">We introduce optimizations to the ZMap network
scanner that achieve a 10-fold increase in maximum scan rate. By
parallelizing address generation, introducing an improved
blacklisting algorithm, and using zero-copy NIC access, we drive
ZMap to nearly the maximum throughput of 10 gigabit Ethernet,
almost 15 million probes per second. With these changes, ZMap can
comprehensively scan for a single TCP port across the entire public
IPv4 address space in 4.5 minutes given adequate upstream
bandwidth. We consider the implications of such rapid scanning for
both defenders and attackers, and we briefly discuss a range of
potential applications.</p>
<h3><a href="https://arxiv.org/pdf/2406.15585">Ten Years of ZMap</a></h3>
<p>Zakir Durumeric, David Adrian, Phillip Stephens, Eric Wustrow, and J. Alex Halderman</p>
<p class="abstract">Since ZMap’s debut in 2013, networking and
security researchers have used the open-source scanner to write
hundreds of research papers that study Internet behavior. In
addition, ZMap powers much of the attack-surface management and
security ratings industries, and more than a dozen security
companies have built products on top of ZMap. Behind the scenes,
much of ZMap’s behavior—ranging from its pseudorandom IP
generation to its packet construction—has quietly evolved as we
have learned more about how to scan the Internet. In this work,
we quantify ZMap’s adoption over the ten years since its release,
describe its modern behavior (and the measurements that motivated
those changes), and offer lessons from releasing and maintaining
ZMap.</p>
<h2>ZGrab and ZCrypto</h2>
<h3><a href="https://jhalderm.com/pub/papers/censys-ccs15.pdf">A Search Engine Backed by Internet-Wide Scanning</a></h3>
<p>Zakir Durumeric, David Adrian, Ariana Mirian, Michael Bailey, J. Alex Halderman<br/>
22nd ACM Conference on Computer and Communications Security (CCS'15)</p>
<p class="abstract">Fast Internet-wide scanning has opened new
avenues for security research, ranging from uncovering widespread
vulnerabilities in random number generators to tracking the
evolving impact of Heartbleed. However, this technique still
requires significant effort: even simple questions, such as, "What
models of embedded devices prefer CBC ciphers?", require developing
an application scanner, manually identifying and tagging devices,
negotiating with network administrators, and responding to abuse
complaints. In this paper, we introduce Censys, a public search
engine and data processing facility backed by data collected from
ongoing Internet-wide scans. Designed to help researchers answer
security-related questions, Censys supports full-text searches on
protocol banners and querying a wide range of derived fields (e.g.,
443.https.cipher). It can identify specific vulnerable devices and
networks and generate statistical reports on broad usage patterns
and trends. Censys returns these results in sub-second time,
dramatically reducing the effort of understanding the hosts that
comprise the Internet. We present the search engine architecture
and experimentally evaluate its performance. We also explore
Censys's applications and show how recent questions become simple
to answer.</p>
<h2>ZDNS</h2>
<h3><a href="https://zakird.com/papers/zdns.pdf">ZDNS: A Fast DNS Toolkit for Internet Measurement</a></h3>
<p>Liz Izhikevich, Gautam Akiwate, Briana Berger, Spencer Drakontaidis, Anna Ascheman, Paul Pearce, David Adrian, and Zakir Durumeric<br/>
ACM Internet Measurement Conference (IMC), October 2022</p>
<p class="abstract">Active DNS measurement is fundamental to
understanding and im- proving the DNS ecosystem. However, the
absence of an extensible, high-performance, and easy-to-use DNS
toolkit has limited both the reproducibility and coverage of DNS
research. In this paper, we introduce ZDNS, a modular and
open-source active DNS measure- ment framework optimized for
large-scale research studies of DNS on the public Internet. We
describe ZDNS’s architecture, evaluate its performance, and
present two case studies that highlight how the tool can be used
to shed light on the operational complexities of DNS. We hope
that ZDNS will enable researchers to better—and in a more
reproducible manner—understand Internet behavior.</p>
<h2>LZR ("Laser")</h2>
<h3><a href="https://zakird.com/papers/lzr.pdf">Identifying Unexpected Internet Services</a></h3>
<p>Liz Izhikevich, Renata Teixeira, and Zakir Durumeric<br/>
USENIX Security Symposium, August 2021</p>
<p class="abstract">Internet-wide scanning is a commonly used
research tech- nique that has helped uncover real-world attacks,
find crypto- graphic weaknesses, and understand both operator and
mis- creant behavior. Studies that employ scanning have largely
assumed that services are hosted on their IANA-assigned ports,
overlooking the study of services on unusual ports. In this work,
we investigate where Internet services are deployed in practice
and evaluate the security posture of services on unexpected
ports. We show protocol deployment is more dif- fuse than
previously believed and that protocols run on many additional
ports beyond their primary IANA-assigned port. For example, only
3% of HTTP and 6% of TLS services run on ports 80 and 443,
respectively. Services on non-standard ports are more likely to
be insecure, which results in studies dramatically
underestimating the security posture of Inter- net hosts.
Building on our observations, we introduce LZR (“Laser”), a
system that identifies 99% of identifiable unex- pected services
in five handshakes and dramatically reduces the time needed to
perform application-layer scans on ports with few responsive
expected services (e.g., 5500% speedup on 27017/MongoDB). We
conclude with recommendations for future studies.</p>

<p>Deepak Kumar, Zhengping Wang, Matthew Hyder, Joseph Dickinson, Gabrielle Beck, David Adrian,

IEEE Symposium on Security and Privacy ("Oakland"), May 2018</p>
<p class="abstract">Over the past 20 years, websites have grown increasingly complex
and interconnected. In 2016, only a negligible number of sites are
dependency free, and over 90% of sites rely on external content.
In this paper, we investigate the current state of web dependencies
and explore two security challenges associated with the increasing
reliance on external services: (1) the expanded attack surface associated
with serving unknown, implicitly trusted third-party content,
and (2) how the increased set of external dependencies impacts
HTTPS adoption. We hope that by shedding light on these issues,
we can encourage developers to consider the security risks associated
with serving third-party content and prompt service providers
to more widely deploy HTTPS.</p>
