- What kind of Nmap module is used to perform scans asynchronously?
- What kind of Nmap module is used to perform scans synchronously?
- How can we launch a synchronous scan on a given host on a given port if we initialize the object with the instruction self.nmsync = nmap.PortScanner ()?
- Which method can we use to check if a host is up or not in a specific network?
- What function is necessary to define when we perform asynchronous scans using the PortScannerAsync() class ?

Overview of this book
It’s becoming more and more apparent that security is a critical aspect of IT infrastructure. A data breach is a major security incident, usually carried out by just hacking a simple network line. Increasing your network’s security helps step up your defenses against cyber attacks. Meanwhile, Python is being used for increasingly advanced tasks, with the latest update introducing many new packages. This book focuses on leveraging these updated packages to build a secure network with the help of Python scripting.
This book covers topics from building a network to the different procedures you need to follow to secure it. You’ll first be introduced to different packages and libraries, before moving on to different ways to build a network with the help of Python scripting. Later, you will learn how to check a network’s vulnerability using Python security scripting, and understand how to check vulnerabilities in your network. As you progress through the chapters, you will also learn how to achieve endpoint protection by leveraging Python packages along with writing forensic scripts. By the end of this book, you will be able to get the most out of the Python language to build secure and robust networks that are resilient to attacks.
