INSPIRATION

I chose to develop port scanner because nowadays cyberattacks are growing rapidly so with the help of portscanner we can easily scan our network vulnerabilities and afterthat we can secure it from cyberthreats. I used python language to develop this tool and for making this tool more efficient and faster, I used advance concepts of python language such like Concurrency and parallelism which I studied from python documentation.

Several Versions of Port-Scanner are Available

Default Port-Scanner
MultiThreaded Port-Scanner
Asyncio Port-Scanner
Multiprocessing Port-Scanner

Installing

Use Clone Command To Install Port-Scanner

$ git clone https://github.com/Rohan-Salwan/Port-Scanner.git

For Installing Dependencies:

$ pip install -r requirements.txt

Activate Port-Scanner

For Starting Default Port-Scanner:

$ python3 Call.py DefaultPortScanner Activate

For Starting Multi-Threaded Port-Scanner:

$ python3 Call.py MultiThreadedPortScanner Activate

for starting Multi-Processing Port-Scanner:

$ python3 Call.py MultiProcessingPortScanner Activate

for starting Asyncio Port-Scanner:

$ pyhton3 Call.py AsyncioPortScanner Activate

For Help:

$ python3 Call.py - -- --help

Default Port-Scanner

In first version of portscanner, it is using default settings like single thread and single core to scan ports. There is no other modification in this version.

Multi-Threaded Port-Scanner

In this version portscanner is going to use multiplethreads which will enhance the overall speed of portscanner. Moreover, threads can be increase and decrease by user so users can speed up the tool according to thier convenience.

Asyncio Port-Scanner

In this version tool is going to use eventloop and its main feature is that it pre empt the task which is waiting for any i/o operations and start another task and what this all process do eventually increase the speed of portscanner.

Multi-Processing Port-Scanner

In this version portscanner is going to use all cores of user machine so portscanning will be superquick because all operation is going to run parallely but in threaded version and aysncio version operations are not going to run parallely that is why multiprocessing is more efficient.

My Local Machine Configuration

Processor Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-10710U CPU @ 1.10GHz 1.61 GHz Installed RAM 16.0 GB (15.8 GB usable) Cores count 6 Logical processors 12 System type 64-bit operating system, x64-based processor

For Testing

I scanned 2000 ports several times with all four versions of portscanner and recorded average runtime of every version which is represented by bar graph and that is given down below
