Forum Thread: Python Port Scanner and Banner Grabber

Hi, White Hats!

I know it's good to use tools, as some of them are the best. However, writing your own makes you a true Ethical Hacker. It gives you a way out from being script kiddies to becoming a security professional who can write his own. Today, I will write some basic scripts to give you an idea on how things work behind the curtain. I hope this will help and encourage you to write advance security tools of your own. Indeed, a good recon is the key to a good attack. Please note these scripts are written in Python 2.7.

Here we go!
