A Python-based network vulnerability scanner that performs port scanning, service enumeration, and known vulnerability detection across network hosts. It generates detailed PDF reports with severity ratings and remediation suggestions for system administrators.
Problem Statement
Small and medium businesses often cannot afford enterprise security scanning tools like Nessus or Qualys. Open-source alternatives require significant expertise to configure and interpret results. There is a need for an easy-to-use vulnerability scanner that provides actionable reports in plain language, helping non-expert administrators identify and fix security weaknesses.
Objectives
Build a multi-threaded network scanner for fast host discovery
Implement port scanning with service and version detection
Create a vulnerability database mapping services to known CVEs
Generate professional PDF reports with severity classifications
Design a web dashboard for scan management and history
Modules
Host Discovery
ARP and ICMP-based host discovery to identify active devices on the network.
Port Scanner
Multi-threaded TCP/UDP port scanner with service fingerprinting and version detection.
Vulnerability Matcher
Match discovered services against a local CVE database to identify known vulnerabilities.
Report Generator
Generate PDF reports with executive summary, detailed findings, risk scores, and remediation steps.
Web Dashboard
Flask-based interface for configuring scans, viewing results, and comparing scan history.
Expected Output
A command-line and web-based tool that scans a given network range, identifies open ports and running services, checks them against known vulnerabilities, and produces a comprehensive PDF report. The report includes a risk summary, detailed findings with CVSS scores, and step-by-step remediation instructions.
Future Scope
Add wireless network scanning, web application vulnerability testing (SQL injection, XSS), compliance checking against standards like PCI-DSS and ISO 27001, scheduled automated scans with email alerts, and integration with ticketing systems for vulnerability tracking.
