portip 1.1.0

A simple IP and port scanner tool.

PortIP

PortIP is a Python package that allows you to ping websites and scan for open ports. It is also available for Linux terminals.

Installation

Using pip

You can install this library using pip:

pip install portip

Using apt-get (Linux)

To install PortIP on a Linux machine, use the following command:

sudo apt-get install portip

Motive Of The Project

Network administrators and security enthusiasts often need a tool to quickly check the status of network services and open ports on a server. This can help in ensuring that only necessary services are exposed and identify potential vulnerabilities. As a network enthusiast myself, I developed this tool to make the process straightforward and efficient.

This package is designed to be easy to use, even for those who are not proficient in Python programming. By following a few simple steps, you can scan websites for open ports and check their connectivity.

Usage (Windows Terminal / MAC Terminal)

After installing the package, you can use the following commands in your terminal or command prompt:

Ping a Website:

To ping a website and check its connectivity, use the following command:

python3 -m portip.portip 1 --url google.com

This command will ping google.com with the default number of requests (4 by default).

Scan for Open Ports:

To scan a website for open ports, use the following command:

python3 -m portip.portip 2 --url google.com

This command will scan google.com for open ports using the default settings (scanning ports 1 to 1000 with 100 threads).

Advanced Scanning Features:

You can enable advanced scanning features to improve port scanning accuracy. Use the --advanced flag with the scan command:

python3 -m portip.portip 2 --url google.com --advanced

This command will enable advanced scanning features while scanning google.com for open ports.

Specify Port Range:

If you want to specify a custom port range (e.g., ports 1-1000), use the --port-range option:

python3 -m portip.portip 2 --url google.com --port-range 1-1000

This command will scan google.com for open ports within the specified port range.

Adjust Number of Threads:

To change the number of threads used for port scanning, use the --threads option:

python3 -m portip.portip 2 --url google.com --threads 50

This command will scan google.com for open ports using 50 threads instead of the default 100.

Replace google.com with the URL of the website you want to ping or scan. Adjust the command-line options as needed to customize the behavior of the PortIP tool.

Usage (Linux Terminal)

After installing the package, you can use the following commands in your terminal or command prompt:

Additional Setup on Linux

Before using the portip command, you need to ensure that the portip.py script is properly configured for use on a Linux machine.

1. Install dos2unix:

   If you haven't already installed dos2unix, you can do so using the following command:

   sudo apt-get install dos2unix
   

2. Convert Line Endings:

   Navigate to the directory containing portip.py and run the following command to convert the line endings of the script file to Unix-style:

   dos2unix portip.py
   

   This command ensures that the script can be executed properly on a Linux machine.
