PortScanner

The Python Port Scanner is a command-line tool written in Python that allows users to scan for open ports on a target host. It provides two options for scanning:

1. Scan the first 1000 ports: This option scans the most commonly used ports to quickly identify any open ports and associated services.
2. Scan all ports: This option scans all 65,535 ports to perform a comprehensive scan and identify any open ports.

The port scanner utilizes the python-nmap module to perform the scanning functionality.

Features

• Scans for open ports on a target host.
• Provides options to scan the first 1000 ports or all ports.
• Utilizes the python-nmap module for efficient scanning.

Requirements

• Python 3.x
• python-nmap module

Usage

1. Clone this repository or download the source code files.

2. Open a terminal or command prompt and navigate to the directory where the Port Scanner files are located.

3. Install the python-nmap module by running the following command:

   pip install python-nmap
   

4. Run the Port Scanner with the following command:

   python port_scanner.py [target_host]
   

   Replace [target_host] with the IP address or hostname of the target host you want to scan.

   Example:

   python port_scanner.py 192.168.0.1
   

5. Follow the displayed instructions to either scan furst 1000 ports or all 65535 ports

6. The Port Scanner will start scanning the specified target host based on the chosen option.

7. Once the scan is complete, the tool will display the results, showing which ports are open.
