A comprehensive vulnerability scanner built in Python that automates the process of identifying common security weaknesses in network hosts.

Features

  • Port scanning and service detection
  • Vulnerability database integration
  • Report generation (HTML/PDF)
  • Multi-threading for performance
  • SQLite database for results storage

Technical Implementation

The scanner uses several key components...

# Example code snippet
import nmap
import sqlite3
from concurrent.futures import ThreadPoolExecutor

class VulnScanner:
    def __init__(self):
        self.nm = nmap.PortScanner()
        self.db = self.init_database()
    
    def scan_host(self, target):
        # Scanning logic here
        pass
