PENTEST VIA CELLULAR NETWORK (IV): PORT SCANNING PYTHON-NMAP
- Layout for this exercise (Smartphone and Raspberry Pi / SIM card / Modem):
1 - Installing Python-Map on the Raspeberry Pi
- python-nmap is a python library which helps in using Nmap port scanner.
- It allows to easilly manipulate nmap scan results and will be a perfect tool for systems administrators who want to automatize scanning task and reports.
- It also supports nmap script outputs.
- For further information:

- Python-nmap works on top of Nmap, so let's make sure that Nmap is previosly installed:
- Downloading python-nmap:
- Uncompressing:
- Setting up and installing:
2 - Testing python-nmap with Python interactive mode
- Now, let's check its funcionality scanning the port 22 of the localhost Raspberry Pi, invoking python-nmap from Python:
- The SSH port 22 is in "open" status:
3 - Writing a Python script using python-nmap
- This Python script uses python-nmap for scanning, and it is based on the documentation provided by the python-nmap official website:
https://xael.org/norman/python/python-nmap/
- Let's notice that the final section of the script just indicates to scan the localhost port 22:
- Running the script the result is successful:
