Example Usage
Basic Port Scan
Scan a single IP address on default ports:
python networksherlock.py 192.168.1.1
Custom Port Range
Scan an IP address with a custom range of ports:
python networksherlock.py 192.168.1.1 -p 1-1024
Multiple IPs and Port Specification
Scan multiple IP addresses on specific ports:
python networksherlock.py 192.168.1.1,192.168.1.2 -p 22,80,443
CIDR Block Scan
Scan an entire subnet using CIDR notation:
python networksherlock.py 192.168.1.0/24 -p 80
Using Multi-Threading
Perform a scan using multiple threads for faster execution:
python networksherlock.py 192.168.1.1-192.168.1.5 -p 1-1024 -t 20
Scanning with Protocol Selection
Scan using a specific protocol (TCP or UDP):
python networksherlock.py 192.168.1.1 -p 53 -P udp
Scan with Shodan
python networksherlock.py 192.168.1.1 --use-shodan
Scan Multiple Targets with Shodan
python networksherlock.py 192.168.1.1,192.168.1.2 -p 22,80,443 -V --use-shodan
Banner Grabbing and Save Results
Perform a detailed scan with banner grabbing and save results to a file:
python networksherlock.py 192.168.1.1 -p 1-1000 -V -s results.txt
Ping Check Before Scanning
Scan an IP range after performing a ping check:
python networksherlock.py 10.0.0.1-10.0.0.255 -c
