# pynmap

A serious(Tried to be) attempt to implement multi-threading to nmap module, which would result in faster scanning speed. I know that one can write NSE scripts for multi-threaded scanning with it, but I wanted to try it on python.

Usage :

- `python pingsweep.py -t 192.168.1.0/24`

### Changelog

- refactored common classes into lib package

- rewritten pingsweep using python's built-in concurrent module, instead of rolling my own worker threads. This reduced the code into barely 50 lines of code.

- updated the code into python3.5 and above, since type annotations are only available from python3.5 and above.

Result

======

When I first created this repo, nmap scanner I was using (can't remember the version) took about 27 seconds to scan 192.168.1.0/24 range, but this program can do that within 5 seconds. But now, things have changed, and new nmap version 7.70 can do the same in 2.3 seconds. But still, this would be a good experiment to try to beat nmap speed. Maybe write a custom scapy packet generator to scan manually?
