So i was trying some simple script to invoke nmap with python. So here is a python command line version.
The python script takes in two types of arguments:
a. target host
b. target port/ports.
the port if more than one should separate by commas. The split method is called to put each port into an array dports
So here’s the code sample:
import nmap
from optparse import OptionParser
def nmapScan(dhost,dport):
nm = nmap.PortScanner()
nm.scan(dhost,dport)
state = nm[dhost]['tcp'][int(dport)]['state']
print("[*] " + dhost + " " + "tcp/"+dport + " " + state)
def main():
parser = OptionParser(usage='usage: %prog -d <destination host> -p <destination port separated by commas>')
parser.add_option('-d', dest='dhost', type='string', help='specify target host')
parser.add_option('-p', dest='dport', type='string', help='specify target port separated by commas')
(options, args) = parser.parse_args()
dhost = options.dhost
#split(",") not split(", "), the latter will cause python3 to give an error like this
#ValueError: invalid literal for int() with base 10:
dports = str(options.dport).split(",")
if(dhost == None) | (dports == None):
parser.print_help()
exit(0)
for dport in dports:
nmapScan(dhost,dport)
if __name__ == '__main__':
main()
If there is no argument specified the result looks like this:
Usage: nmap2.py -d -p
Options:
-h, --help show this help message and exit
-d DHOST specify target host
-p DPORT specify target port separated by commas
Another scenario is specify one host and one port for nmap scan:
Cyruss-Air:net1 cyruslok$ sudo python3 nmap2.py -d 192.168.1.150 -p22
[*] 192.168.1.150 tcp/22 open
Another scenarios is to specifiy more than one port for nmap scan:
Cyruss-Air:net1 cyruslok$ sudo python3 nmap2.py -d 192.168.1.150 -p21,22,23,80,443
[*] 192.168.1.150 tcp/21 closed
[*] 192.168.1.150 tcp/22 open
[*] 192.168.1.150 tcp/23 closed
[*] 192.168.1.150 tcp/80 closed
[*] 192.168.1.150 tcp/443 closed
