PythonPortScanner

This is a network and port scanning python script that runs on a CLI. It allows the user to:

• Search a network for active hosts by inserting a subnet address with it's mask. Ex.: 198.168.0.0/24
• Check if a specific host is active based on it's IP address.
• Run a port scan on a given host to check which ports are open and what services are running on it.

Installing the Scapy library

To run the script the user has to have a python enviroment with the scapy library installed, to do so one can install it from the provided requirements.txt file:

pip install -r requirements.txt

Alternatively you can install it directly from pip, though the code is only tested to run on version 2.5.0.

Running the script

To properly run the code the user should be using a linux operating system. To run the script insert the following command on the terminal:

sudo -E python3 ./main.py

The -E modifier preserves the python enviroment when running as root, preventing having problems with the scapy library.
