The-Port-Scanner-Project

• This is a simple script,simulating the port scanning feature that is performed by pentesting tools such as Fping and Threader.Additionally,it is a great project to for anyone wanting to start off learning Python

Functionalities:-

• Port Scan - Withing a specific range of ports specified by user
• Ability to translate an IPv6 address to an IPv4 one
• Code Commenting has been done where necessary,providing better clarity for learners

User Input format

• For IP Address - xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx (You can also enter 1,2 or 3 digit octets to scan)
• For Ports - xxx-xxx (Scanning 1,2,3,4 and 5 digit ports are also possible)

Screenshots

Script Run requirements:-

• Python3 or higher - (apt update , curl https://bootstrap.pypa.io/get-pip.py -o get-pip.py , python get-pip.py , apt install python3)
• Any scripting software (gedit,nano or vim)

Improvements

The following improvements can be done,to the script:-

• Ability to save the scan results (using -o switch)
• Ability to load scanning scripts specific for a port
• Provide more verbose information on ports and the target machine

Parting Notes

• I do hope that you have the same amount of fun,that I had,while coding this script!
• This repository is open to the public,to collaborate and contribute.Get in touch with me and I would be more than happy.
