Scans a target IP or hostname for open TCP ports and identifies the running service.
Usage:
python port_scanner.pyFeatures:
- Scans 11 common ports (FTP, SSH, HTTP, HTTPS, RDP, MySQL, DNS, and more)
- Identifies service name for each open port
- 1-second timeout per port for fast scanning
- Handles hostname resolution errors gracefully
Example output:
Scanning 192.168.1.254...
Port 53: OPEN (DNS)
Port 80: OPEN (HTTP)
Port 443: OPEN (HTTPS)
Scan complete. 3 open port(s) found.
Generates cryptographically random passwords with configurable length and character sets.
Usage:
python password_generator.pyFeatures:
- Configurable password length
- Optional symbol inclusion
- Generates 5 password options per run
- Uses Python's
random.choices()for unpredictable output
- Python scripting for security automation
- TCP socket programming and network connectivity testing
- Port enumeration and service identification
- Secure random password generation
- Error handling and exception management
