# Port Scanner with IP address(Simple ethical hacking experiment with Python)

## Overview

This Python script serves as a simple ethical hacking experiment, allowing users to scan ports on a specified IP address to identify open ports. It utilizes the socket module to create TCP sockets and establish connections to each port within a specified range.

## Requirements

- Python 3.x

## Usage

1. Clone the repository or download the Python script.

2. Open a terminal or command prompt.

3. Navigate to the directory containing the Python script.

4. Run the script by executing the command:

```

python port_scanner.py

```

5. Follow the prompts to enter the target IP address.

6. The script will scan ports 1 to 1024 on the specified IP address and display the results.

## Understanding the code

- The socket module is used for creating network sockets, allowing the script to establish TCP connections to each port.

- TCP (Transmission Control Protocol) connections are established to determine whether each port on the target IP address is open or closed.

- The script utilizes error handling to gracefully handle exceptions such as KeyboardInterrupt and socket errors.

## IDE I used

- pycharm

This script is intended for educational purposes only. Do not use it for any malicious activities. Always seek permission before scanning ports on a network or IP address.
