Port Scanning with HTML5 and JS-Recon

Cross-Origin Requests and WebSockets both expose readyState, and how long a given readyState lasts varies with whether the target port is open, closed or filtered. Timing readyState 1 for CORS and readyState 0 for WebSockets therefore distinguishes port states from JavaScript, extending to network sweeps and internal IP discovery. Released as the JS-Recon tool.
