PortX v5.3.0 - Ultra Engine v5 & Declarative Signatures

Changelog

[5.3.0] - 2026-10-09

🔀 Stealth Mode & Firewall/WAF Evasion

• Fisher-Yates Port Randomization: Implemented randomized port distribution in PortScanner.kt to prevent sequential port access patterns that trigger stateful firewall, IPS, and IDS heuristic rate-limiting rules.
• WAF Evasion HTTP Prober: Dynamically rotates modern browser User-Agents (Chrome 122, Firefox 123, Safari 17.3, Edge 122) and realistic HTTP headers (Accept, Accept-Language, Sec-Ch-Ua, Connection: close) combined with 1–3ms jitter delays during HTTP service banner extraction.
• 4,000-Worker Full-Range Scaling: Scaled the concurrency ceiling from 2,500 to 4,000 workers specifically during Full Range (1–65,535) sweeps, reducing full-port discovery duration while maintaining zero socket exhaustion.

🌐 Network Intelligence Suite (DNSSEC, DoH & CIDR)

• DNS-over-HTTPS (DoH) & DNSSEC: Added native encrypted DoH resolution via Cloudflare and Google endpoints, parsing DNSSEC Authenticated Data (AD) and Checking Disabled (CD) validation flags alongside EDNS support.
• Advanced Dig DNS Resolver: Integrated multi-type DNS querying supporting A, AAAA, MX, TXT, NS, CNAME, SOA, PTR, SRV, and CAA record types.
• Resilient TCP Ping: Added TCP socket connection latency checks as a resilient fallback when ICMP echo packets are blocked by firewalls or restricted non-root environments.
• Subnet & CIDR Calculator: Integrated network subnetting calculator resolving network address, broadcast address, netmask, wildcard mask, and usable host count for arbitrary CIDR prefixes.

🔔 Multiplatform Rich Notifications

• Android Foreground Service (ScannerService):
  • Configured official app launcher icon (R.mipmap.ic_launcher) for active and completed scan notifications.
  • Bound direct-focus PendingIntent (FLAG_IMMUTABLE or FLAG_UPDATE_CURRENT) to launch and focus MainActivity upon notification tap.
  • Implemented BigTextStyle expandable completion notification detailing target address, device heuristic, discovered open ports, security score, and posture grade.
• Desktop SystemTray Notifications: Added native desktop system tray notifications in ScannerController.jvm.kt providing completion telemetry and posture rating.

🎨 UI/UX Refinement & Attack Surface Reduction

• Minimalist 3-Button Language Switcher: Streamlined language selection in SettingsScreen to a compact horizontal row of [EN], [FA], and [RU] toggle buttons.
• Attack Surface Minimization: Removed internal system architecture diagnostics card from settings to prevent environmental fingerprinting.
• Search Bar Decluttering: Simplified search input on Dashboard and Tools screens, removing distracting quick-target chips in favor of focused, direct input.
• Responsive Export Grid: Redesigned report export actions into an adaptive 2x2 grid on mobile viewports with single-line ellipsis truncation, eliminating UI overflow on narrow screens.

🔬 Empirical Benchmarking & Comprehensive Test Harness

• 8-Suite Live Benchmark Harness: Automated real-time test suite (LiveSystemBenchmarkTest.kt) covering Concurrency Saturation (up to 2,500 workers), 10,000-port sustained sweep (8,143+ ports/sec with 17 MB RAM delta), Q-Learning adaptive timing, IPv4/IPv6 dual-stack efficiency, banner grabbing latency profiling, security posture evaluation (56,000+ ops/sec), multi-format report serialization (CSV, Markdown, JSON), and non-blocking UDP probe dispatch.
• Adversarial QA Suite: Added AdversarialQAVerificationTest.kt verifying Android notification intents, BigTextStyle fields, 4,000-worker ceiling, stealth shuffling, DNSSEC DoH resolution, and responsive UI layouts.
• Official Benchmark Publication: Published BENCHMARKS.md providing full hardware telemetry, scaling curves, and deterministic CLI reproducibility instructions.

[5.1.0] - 2026-10-05

🛡️ Enterprise Hardening & Resilience

• Cooperative Cancellation: Audited all coroutine worker loops (PortScanner, ScannerController, ScannerService, ScanViewModel, ToolsViewModel) to explicitly rethrow CancellationException, eliminating zombie workers and spurious cancellation errors.
• Strict RFC 1123 Validation: Tightened target parser in ScanViewModel to require all-numeric dotted strings to strictly validate as IPv4, preventing invalid inputs from passing as hostnames.
• Concurrency & State Protection: Added multi-click concurrency guards to startScan() and ensured pending network probes cancel immediately on stopScan().
• Filesystem Sanitization: Stripped Windows illegal characters (:, /, \, ?, *, ", <, >, |) from export filenames to guarantee report generation stability.
• Timestamp Formatting: Formatted report hour and minute outputs with standard two-digit zero-padding.

🌐 Bilingual Architecture & Community Standards

• Production Documentation: Added comprehensive English README.md and dedicated RTL Persian mirror (README.fa.md) with Mermaid concurrency pipelines and RFC citations.
• Open Source Governance: Added Apache 2.0 LICENSE, SECURITY.md, CONTRIBUTING.md, CODE_OF_CONDUCT.md, and GitHub issue/PR templates.
• Regional Market Localization: Added values-fa/strings.xml for native app naming on Iranian app stores (Cafe Bazaar & Myket).

⚡ Desktop & Android Tuning

• High-Throughput JVM Network Stack: Configured desktop JVM flags for IPv4 stack priority, non-exclusive socket binding, and UTF-8 encoding.
• Android 14+ FGS Compliance: Enforced FOREGROUND_SERVICE_TYPE_SPECIAL_USE in ScannerService with hardware acceleration enabled.
• Automated QA: Added PresentationAdversarialTest covering target validation, port bounds, and report generation.

[5.0.0-ULTRA] - 2026-06-21

🚀 Massive Performance Upgrade (The "Ultra Engine")

• Decoupled Scanning Engine: Refactored the core logic to separate port discovery from service detection. Scanning speed is no longer limited by slow banner-grabbing responses.
• Adaptive RTT Layer: Introduced dynamic timeout calculation based on real-time network latency (RTT).
• Neural-Inspired Timing: Added AdaptiveTiming with "Turbo Mode" exploration for higher throughput on stable networks.
• Bounded Channels: Implemented backpressure using Kotlin Channels to ensure memory stability during full 65k port scans.

🎨 UI & Branding

• Modern Iconography: Integrated new professional high-tech icons across all platforms (Android, Windows, macOS, Linux).
• Compose Resources Migration: Migrated to the modern org.jetbrains.compose.resources library for centralized resource management.

🔧 Fixes & Refinement

• DNS Caching: Target hostnames are now resolved once per scan.
• Accuracy Retries: Added automatic retries for "filtered" ports in high-performance modes.
• Warning Clean-up: Resolved numerous compiler and deprecation warnings across the codebase.

[4.0.0] - Previous Version

• Initial implementation of the KMP Port Scanner.
• Basic TCP/UDP scanning support.
