DScan is a portscanner that distributes the scan among dozens of hosts. The scanner consists of two parts. One part is the client, which initiates the scan and calculates the portrange each server has to operate on. The only thing the server does is scan and return the result to the client. Distributing the portscanning operation can make it harder for the target to detect the fact that a scan is being performed.
