Port scanner in python is not working properly

737 views Asked by At

Hey everyone i was trying to make a port scanner using python3. I tried one earlier and it worked but it was not taking arguments directly rather i had to run the program and then give it all the details. So I decided to come up wit a port scanner which could take arguments. This was my code:

#!/usr/bin/env python3

import argparse
import os
import subprocess
import socket

#parsing arguments
parser=argparse.ArgumentParser()
#taking arguments
parser.add_argument("ip_addr", help="IPv4 address of the target")
parser.add_argument("-v", "--verbose", help="give output in verbosity (show even the closed ports)", action="store_true")

args=parser.parse_args()
print(args.ip_addr)


def __port__(port):
    try:
        s=socket.socket()
        s.settimeout(0.5)
        s.connect((args.ip_addr,port))
        print(args.ip_addr)
        return True
    except:
        return False
    finally:
        s.close()




if args.verbose:
    for x in range (0,1025):
        if __port__:
            print("[+] {}:{} is open".format(args.ip_addr,x))
        else:
            print("[+] {}:{} is closed".format(args.ip_addr,x))

else:
    for x in range (0,1025):
        if __port__:
            print("[+] {}:{} is open".format(args.ip_addr,x))

The problem is every time I run this script on any ip address i get all the ports open. This is the result of my script: 192.168.1.1

my nmap result shows that only port 80 is open. This is my nmap output:

You need to give the value of the port to your function __port__ call (otherwise if __port__ is always true because __port__ is the name of a function) :

if args.verbose:
    for x in range (0,1025):
        if __port__(x):
            print("[+] {}:{} is open".format(args.ip_addr,x))
        else:
            print("[+] {}:{} is closed".format(args.ip_addr,x))

else:
    for x in range (0,1025):
        if __port__(x):
            print("[+] {}:{} is open".format(args.ip_addr,x))
