I'm very new to networking via cocoa and need to develop a small port scanner application.
Why do you need this port scanner? Are you going to distribute it, or just run it yourself? Is it a class project or assignment? Does it absolutely have to be Cocoa? If so, why?
Have you tried googling? I see a lot of hits for keywords open source Cocoa port scanner. If those don't meet your needs, why not?
The Apple-provided application Network Utility.app contains an embedded port scanner, which it runs when you use its "Port Scan" tab. If you don't need to distribute the app, and can do some digging to figure out the command-line parameters, you might be able to run that embedded port scanner instead of writing your own. Its name is 'stroke', and you can open the Network Utility.app bundle and see it in Resources.
Another option would be to google keywords like open source BSD port scanner and see what comes up. Mac OS X can run a lot of BSD code without any source changes.
