strobe is a network/security tool that locates and
describes all listening tcp ports on a (remote) host or on
many hosts in a bandwidth utilisation maximising, and pro-
cess resource minimizing manner.
strobe approximates a parallel finite state machine inter-
nally. In non-linear multi-host mode it attempts to appor-
tion bandwidth and sockets among the hosts very effi-

ciently. This can reap appreciable gains in speed for
multiple distinct hosts/routes.
