Nmap Automation Tool - Detailed Documentation

This script is a Python-based automation tool for Nmap, a powerful network scanning utility.

It provides a simple command-line interface for selecting different types of scans.

--- Code Breakdown ---

1. Imports and Initialization:

- `import time`: Used for creating delays to enhance UX.

- `import nmap`: Imports the python-nmap module to interact with Nmap.

- `import threading`: Imported for potential multithreading (not used in the current code).

2. Initial UI Output:

- Uses `time.sleep()` and `print()` to show a welcome banner and a scan options list.

3. Scan Type Selection:

- Prompts the user to select the type of scan from a predefined list (TCP, UDP, etc.).

4. IP Address Input:

- Asks the user to input the target IP address for scanning.

5. Port Validation Function:

- `validate_ports(port_input)`: Ensures the user-specified ports are valid. Accepts single ports, ranges,

multiple ports, or 'all'.

6. Port Prompting:

- Only triggers if the scan type is not OS detection (type 13).

7. Block 1: TCP Scan (`type_scan == '1'`):

- Performs a full TCP connect scan (`-sT`).

- Displays open ports and services, with a warning if all specified ports are reported open.

8. Block 2: UDP Scan (`type_scan == '2'`):

- Uses `-sU` for UDP scan.

- Outputs UDP scan results and checks for open UDP ports.

9. Block 3: Comprehensive Scan (`type_scan == '3'`):

- Combines multiple options: `-sS`, `-sV`, `-O`, `-sC`, `-A` for a detailed analysis.

10. Block 4: SYN Scan (`type_scan == '4'`):

- A stealthy TCP SYN scan using `-sS`.

- Gathers port state and service info.

11. Block 5: Connect Scan (`type_scan == '5'`):

- Explicit full TCP connection scan using `-sT`.

- Outputs open TCP ports and services.

Note: Other scan types (6-13) are listed but not implemented yet.

--- Summary ---

This tool simplifies the process of running Nmap scans by guiding the user through input collection,

port validation, and executing various scan commands. It's a useful utility for beginners learning about

network scanning.
