Hacking is about logic. "If the port is open, try to connect. Else, move to the next IP."
Automation allows for the efficient processing of large datasets, such as checking a list of server configurations.
Scanning 65,535 ports one-by-one takes hours. Hackers use threads (or asyncio). Warning: Do not use threading for CPU-heavy tasks; use it for I/O (network) tasks.
Enter Python.
⭐⭐⭐⭐☆ (4/5) Target Audience: Absolute beginners to coding who want to get into cybersecurity, or pentesters stuck using only pre-built tools.
