------======<About Hakscan>======------
	
	Hakscan Scans a range of IP address for a certain open port.
It attempts to connect to each IP on the specified port, and if the connection
is a success, adds the IP to a list. You can then connect up to the port, and
transfer data.


------======<New to v1.4>======------

Customiseable port list file.
Better spacing between Found IP's/Ping
Error-free Save/Copy buttons



------======<Coming soon...>======------

Support for multiple class-C scans (Scan more IP's at a time.)
Anything else you tell me to put on it.

------======<Why Use Hakscan?>======------
	
	If you want to find hosts with an open telnet port. Telnet ports are
used by businesses, for users to log in to. Scan for open Telnet ports, then
use Telnet.exe to connect up to them, and commence hacking. Trojan horses can
be scanned for, then when they are found, they can be connected to with the
trojan horse client.



------======<How do I use Hakscan?>======------
	
	It depends on what port you are looking for, but generally it is much
the same procedure. First, Select the port to be scanned for. Common ports, 
such as Telnet and FTP are in the select list, for quick selection, but for 
other ports, simply input them into the port box. A list of ports is available
at the HKSoftware website, in the hacking section. www.geocities.com/hksoftware2000
When you have chosen the port, Input the first IP of the range to be scanned.
A good idea is to put your own port in here. You can find your own IP address, 
by going to the start menu, selecting 'Run' and typing 'Winipcfg' (Win 9x machines.)
Click on the '1' button, for the first IP of the range.
Notice that most of last IP address fills in automatically.
Now, for the last IP to be scanned, you can click on the '154' button, which is the
last IP in the range. It should now look like this:
26.238.50.1 To 26.238.50.254
This will scan 26.238.50.1, 26.238.50.2, 26.238.50.3 etc...
Click the 'Scan' button, and you will see the 'Current' IP counting up. The rate at which
Hakscan scans can be changed in the 'Timeout' field. A smaller number will scan faster, 
but may miss slow responses. Leave it at 100 for reliable scans.
The 'Save' button allows you to save the results to the end of a log file.
The 'Copy' button allows you to copy the selected IP to clipboard. This makes it faster
to connect up to the port with another program, such as Telnet



------======<How can I add ports to hakscans list?>======------

	Open ports.txt, which should be in the same directory as Hakscan.
write ports in the format: 'port,portname' like this:

21,Telnet
23,FTP
12345,Netbus
1234,Sub seven
