SCTPscan is a new tool to scan SCTP endpoints. SCTP is a protocol like TCP with builtin support in major OS (Linux kernel 2.6, Solaris 10, FreeBSD 7, Mac OS X with kernel extension, ...). SCTP has some very interesting features (multihoming, multi-stream, resists well to Denial of Service - DoS, high performance). It's used for telecommunication backbone over IP (SS7 over IP aka SIGTRAN), Internet2 transfers, Cluster high-speed communication.

SCTPscan is like nmap for SCTP. It's released as a GPL Open Source free software.
