Great Karigalan Portscanner is a simple Python-based port scanning tool created as a learning project. This is my first project in the field of cybersecurity, as I am new to this domain and eager to learn. The tool is designed to help understand the basics of network scanning and socket programming in Python.
As a beginner in cybersecurity, I developed this project to gain hands-on experience and to better understand network protocols and security concepts. While it may not be as sophisticated as professional tools, it represents an important step in my learning journey.

- Scan all ports (1-65535) on specified IP addresses
- Scan up to a specified maximum port number
- Support for scanning multiple IP addresses
- Color-coded output for better readability
- Python 3.12
- termcolor library
- socket library (usually comes pre-installed with Python)
- Clone or download this repository.
- Run the script. It will automatically install the required dependencies.
- Run the script:
- You will be prompted to enter a command:
- To scan all ports: Enter
scan--all - To scan up to a specific port: Enter
scan--<max_port>(e.g.,scan--1000to scan ports 1-1000)
-
After entering the command, you'll be prompted to enter one or more IP addresses, separated by commas.
-
The script will then scan the specified IP addresses and display the results.

- This tool uses a basic TCP connect scan and may be slow for large port ranges.
- Some systems or firewalls may block or rate-limit port scans, affecting results.
- Always ensure you have permission before scanning any network or system.
- Add more scanning techniques
- Implement multi-threading for faster scans
- Add option for custom port lists
- Improve error handling and reporting
Remember, this is a learning project and there's always room for improvement. Poitu va
