port-eye

Simple CLI wrapper around nmap to perform port scanning in Python

Note: This software is indended for legitimate use only.

Features

• Scanning of IPV4, IPV6 hosts and CIDR blocks.
• Parsing of hosts from input file.
• Automated generation of reports in HTML format.
• Parallel scanning for increased performance.
• Optional Docker-based execution.

Example command:

$ port-eye -t 127.0.0.1 -o report.html

Output html file example:

Installation

This application is compatible with Python 2.7 and Python 3.5+.

Docker installation

If you have Docker installed, you can pull the image from Docker-Hub:

docker pull ahugues/port-eye

You can also build the image by cloning the repository and running:

docker build -t port-eye .

Prerequisites

You need to install nmap on your machine for the application to work (unless you choose the Docker install.)

Example on Ubuntu:

sudo apt update
sudo apt install nmap

Example on Arch

sudo pacman -S nmap

Example on Mac with Homebrew

brew install nmap

Install with pypi

If you have Python 2.7 or 3.5+ installed, you can install port-eye from PyPI:

pip install port-eye

or locally by clonning the repository and running:

pip install .

Usage

General notes

port-eye exposes a command line executable named port-eye

When run without any option, port-eye will simply display the help message.

Input hosts can be inputed from the CLI with the option -t or --target. Inputted hosts can be IPV4 and 6 as well as CIDR blocks.

Hosts can be added from an input file in which hosts are put line by line. Example:

127.0.0.1
::1
8.8.8.8

If using Docker, and assuming you are working in a certain directory, you can run a port-eye container using:

docker run -v "$(pwd)":/files port-eye <options>

Or if built locally

docker run -v "$(pwd)":/files port-eye <options>
