Python Port Scanner

This Python script is a simple yet effective port scanner that allows you to scan a target host for open ports. It supports multi-threading to improve the scanning speed and provides colorful and informative output.

Features

• Scans a range of ports on a target host for open ports.
• Utilizes multi-threading for concurrent scanning.
• Displays open ports with additional information if available.
• Provides colorful output for better readability.

Prerequisites

• Python 3.x installed.

Usage

1. Clone this repository or download the port_scanner.py file.

2. Open a terminal or command prompt.

3. Navigate to the directory where the port_scanner.py script is located.

4. Run the script using the following command:

python port_scanner.py <host> -p <port_range> -t <timeout> -c <concurrency>

5. Replace the placeholders:

   : The target host you want to scan (can be an IP address or hostname). <port_range>: The range of ports to scan, e.g., 1-1024. : Timeout for each port scan in seconds (optional, default is 1 second). : Maximum number of concurrent threads (optional, default is 10).

Example:

python port_scanner.py example.com -p 1-1024 -t 1 -c 20

The script will start scanning the specified ports on the target host and display the results in the terminal.
