Network Scanner Suite

This project is a network scanning toolset that performs subnet scanning, port scanning, and operating system fingerprinting. It is composed of three Python scripts working in form of a chain: scanner.py, ping_and_port_scan.py, and os_fingerprint.py.

Features

• Ping Sweep: Identifies live hosts within a given subnet and netmask.
• Port Scanning: Scans common ports (1–1023 by default) on live hosts.
• OS Fingerprinting: Detects the operating system and other details for each live host with open ports.
• Output to CSV: Saves scan results in a CSV file for easy analysis.
