Polymorphism for Beginners | Object Oriented Programming (OOP) | Build a Scanner in Python

Polymorphism means "many forms." It allows a single method or function to behave differently depending on the object it’s acting upon. Think of it like a universal remote control—the same button can do different things depending on the device you’re using.

In our tutorial, we created a base class Scanner with a generic scan method, and then built specialized classes like NetworkScanner and FileScanner that overrode the scan method to perform specific tasks. This demonstrates how polymorphism lets you use the same method name for different types of scans, making your code flexible and reusable.

Polymorphism is a powerful tool in cybersecurity, helping you write cleaner, more adaptable code for tools like network scanners and malware detectors!
