10GigE (Zippier) ZMap
===========
It is possible to build ZMap to run at 95% of 10 GigE linespeed, sending over 14
million packets per second. This requires a compatible Intel 10 Gbps Ethernet
NIC and Linux.
### Prerequisites
0. A working ZMap development environment (see [INSTALL.md](install.md))
1. A [PF_RING ZC](http://www.ntop.org/products/pf_ring/pf_ring-zc-zero-copy/)
license from ntop.
2. PF_RING ZC headers and kernel module
3. A 10 Gbps NIC with compatible "PF_RING-aware" drivers
4. A Linux (not BSD or Mac) installation
5. For best results, a computer with at least 8 *physical* cores on the same
NUMA node.
6. libnuma (`sudo apt-get install libnuma-dev`)
### Building
Most build errors are due to incorrectly building or installing PF_RING. Make
sure you have build the drivers, the kernel module, and the userland library, as
well as install the headers and kernel module to the correct locations.
The PF_RING `make install` command might not copy `pfring_zc.h` to
`/usr/include`, in which case manually install the file and set permissions
correctly.
To build navigate to the root of the repository and run:
```
$ cmake -DWITH_PFRING=ON -DENABLE_DEVELOPMENT=OFF .
$ make
```
### Running
You'll have to carefully select the number of threads to use, as well as specify
as zero-copy interface, e.g. `zc:eth1`. Use the `--cores` option to pick which
cores to pin to. Make sure to pin to different physical cores, and note that
some machines interleave physical and "virtual" cores.
```
$ sudo ./src/zmap -p 80 -i zc:eth7 -o output.csv -T 5
```
### Considerations
DO NOT TAKE THIS LIGHTLY!
Running ZMap at 10Gbps hits every /16 on the Internet over 200 times a second.
Even if you have a large source IP range to scan from, it's very obvious that
you're scanning. As always, follow scanning best practices, honor blocklist
requests, and signal benign/research intent via domain names and websites on
your scan IPs.
Remember, you're sending a lot of traffic.
