NetworkSherlock is a powerful and flexible port scanning tool designed for network security professionals and penetration testers. With its advanced capabilities, NetworkSherlock can efficiently scan IP ranges, CIDR blocks, and multiple targets. It stands out with its detailed banner grabbing capabilities across various protocols and integration with Shodan, the world's premier service for scanning and analyzing internet-connected devices. This Shodan integration enables NetworkSherlock to provide enhanced scanning capabilities, giving users deeper insights into network vulnerabilities and potential threats. By combining local port scanning with Shodan's extensive database, NetworkSherlock offers a comprehensive tool for identifying and analyzing network security issues.
Features
Scans multiple IPs, IP ranges, and CIDR blocks. Supports port scanning over TCP and UDP protocols. Detailed banner grabbing feature. Ping check for identifying reachable targets. Multi-threading support for fast scanning operations. Option to save scan results to a file. Provides detailed version information. Colorful console output for better readability. Shodan integration for enhanced scanning capabilities. Configuration file support for Shodan API key.Installation
NetworkSherlock requires Python 3.6 or later.
