Introduction
In the previous project, we developed a Python port scanner that leveraged threading and sockets to scan TCP ports. While effective, there's room for improvement using third-party packages.
In this project, we'll enhance our port scanner by integrating the python-nmap library, offering more robust scanning capabilities. Furthermore, we'll build a web application using Flask to provide a user-friendly interface for our scanner. This step-by-step project will guide you through the process, ensuring you can follow along and build upon your existing knowledge.
