I Built a Port Scanner Faster Than Nmap (Python Socket)

🚀 Is Nmap too slow for you? I built a faster alternative! In this video, I take you behind the scenes of creating a custom Port and Vulnerability Scanner using Python. We all know Nmap is the king of network scanning, but sometimes you need raw speed and customization. I used the Python socket library to build a tool that outperforms Nmap in speed while delivering the same critical results. I’ll show you exactly how to clone this tool from GitHub into Parrot OS, set it up, and perform advanced scans against a target IP. Whether you are a beginner in Python or an advanced ethical hacker, this project will level up your coding and security skills! 🛠️ What You Will Learn in This Video: ⚡ The "Nmap Killer" Logic ‣ How I utilized Python's socket library to handle connections faster. ‣ Understanding the difference between standard scanning and my optimized approach. 💻 Practical Lab Setup (Parrot OS) ‣ Step-by-step guide to cloning the tool from GitHub. ‣ Setting up the environment in Parrot OS for smooth execution. 🔍 Advanced Scanning Features Demo ‣ Basic Scan: Quick check for open ports. ‣ Specific Port Scan: Targeting individual services. ‣ Banner Grabbing: Identifying service versions and OS details (Vulnerability Detection). ‣ Fast SYN Scanning: High-speed, stealthy scanning techniques. ‣ Network Scanning: Scanning a range of IPs to map the network. 📂 Data Management & Optimization ‣ Save Results: How to export your scan data to a file for reporting. ‣ Performance Tips: Optimizing threads and sockets for maximum efficiency. 🔗 Resources & Links: 📥 Get the Source Code (GitHub): https://github.com/aneeshsangran84/po... 🖥️ My Setup: ‣ Attacker Machine: Parrot Security OS ‣ Language: Python 3 ‣ Library: Socket ‣ Victim Machine: Ubuntu Linux ⚠️ Disclaimer: This video is created strictly for educational and informational purposes only. The custom Python port scanner demonstrated here is designed to help you understand the mechanics of network security and socket programming. Please remember that scanning networks, IP addresses, or devices without explicit permission is illegal and unethical. All the demonstrations in this video were performed on my own machine using Parrot OS in a controlled lab environment.
