## Overview
``topmostp`` (**Topmost P**orts) is a tool that allows you to quickly retrieve the **most used ports**. The source of the ranking is the ``nmap-services`` in the [nmap repo](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/nmap/nmap/master/nmap-services).

At [SecSI](https://secsi.io) we found it useful to get this information to use it in a **pipeline of scripts**.

## Install
You can easily install it by running:
```
pip install topmostp
```

## Usage
```
topmostp --help
```

This will display help for the tool. Here are all the commands it supports.

```
Usage: topmostp [OPTIONS] COMMAND [ARGS]...

╭─ Options ─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────╮
│ --help -h Show this message and exit. │
╰───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────╯
╭─ Commands ────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────╮
│ find Find info about about a specific service │

│ top Retrieve list of ports by frequency (TCP, UDP, SCTP or all of them. Defaults to 'all') │
│ update Update ports list │
╰───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────╯
```

This is the help for the ``topmostp top`` command:
```
Usage: topmostp top [OPTIONS] N

Retrieve list of ports by frequency (TCP, UDP, SCTP or all of them. Defaults
to 'all')

╭─ Arguments ────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────╮
│ * n INTEGER [default: None] [required] │
╰────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────╯
╭─ Options ──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────╮
│ --type -t [tcp|udp|sctp|all] [default: all] │
│ --silent -s Display only results in output │
│ --help -h Show this message and exit. │
╰────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────╯
```

This is the help for the ``topmostp find`` command:
```
Usage: topmostp find [OPTIONS] SERVICE

Find info about about a specific service

╭─ Arguments ────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────╮
│ * service TEXT [default: None] [required] │
╰────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────╯
╭─ Options ──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────╮
│ --help -h Show this message and exit. │
╰────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────╯
```

This is the help for the ``topmostp stats`` command:
```
Usage: topmostp stats [OPTIONS] PORT PORT_TYPE:{tcp|udp|sctp}

Retrieve stats about a port

╭─ Arguments ────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────╮
│ * port INTEGER [default: None] [required] │
│ * port_type PORT_TYPE:{tcp|udp|sctp} [default: None] [required] │
╰────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────╯
╭─ Options ──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────╮
│ --help -h Show this message and exit. │
╰────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────╯
```

A pratical example is the following:
```
naabu -p $(topmostp top 15 -s) -host secsi.io
```

In this snippet the output of ``topmostp`` is used to retrieve the list of the top 15 ports and it is chained with the ``naabu`` port scanning tool.
