Utilizing essential security libraries

At the heart of network analysis is the practice of network scanning. Network scanning is a technique used to discover devices on a network, determine open ports, identify available services, and uncover vulnerabilities. This information is invaluable for security assessments and maintaining the overall security of a network.

Without further ado, let us write a network scanner. Scapy will be our library of choice.

Scapy is a powerful packet manipulation tool that allows users to capture, analyze, and forge network packets. It can be used for network discovery, security testing, and forensic analysis.

How can I determine that Scapy is the preferred library for our tool?

You’ll need to do some Google searches, and you can also use https://pypi.org/ to find modules that suit your needs.

So, now that we have our library, how can I find the modules from Scapy that are needed for our tool? For that, you can make use of the documentation...
