Python Port Scanner
A socket-programming project for understanding ports, timeouts, basic threading, and responsible scanning in lab environments.
Technical Architecture & Principles
A lightweight network exploration script built with raw Python sockets to investigate low-level TCP connection mechanics.
Threat Model & Attack Surface
Unauthorized scanning of third-party networks violates acceptable use policies and security boundaries. Scope control is paramount.
Defensive Engineering Takeaway
Socket programming clarifies the difference between TCP SYN, ACK, and FIN states that security proxies and firewalls manipulate.
