Python Scripting - Writing A Network Scanner In Python | Shadab Idrishi | KarsiGeek

The network scanner is an important element in the arsenal of the network administrator as well as the penetration tester. It allows the user to map the network and its topology as well as to find devices that would be hard to find manually. It allows a security analyst or penetration tester to find devices on the network that could be likely opportunities to use to begin a breach into the network. Let's explore this essential tool in some detail.
Definition :-
A network scanner is a software tool used for diagnostic and investigative purposes to find and categorize what devices are running on a network. Typically the user inputs a range of IP addresses into the tool to be scanned and the scanner moves through the list sequentially determining if there is an active device present on each given IP address. One such tool that is commonly used by cyber security professionals is Nmap - the Network Mapper.
