findit---Network-Scanner-and-Port-Closer

The findit tool will scan the specified network for open ports and close any that it finds.

Introduction

findit is a network scanner tool designed to detect open ports on a specified network and close them. This tool is divided into two parts: a Python script for scanning scanner.py and another for closing the detected open ports closer.py. The tool is designed to be used on Kali Linux.

Features

• Scan a target IP address for open ports within a specified range.
• Generate a report of open ports.
• Close the detected open ports using iptables.

Requirements

• Python 3.x
• Kali Linux or any other Linux distribution with iptables installed.
• Elevated privileges sudo to modify firewall settings.

Installation

1. Clone the repository (or download the scripts):

   git clone https://github.com/muhammad1596/findit.git
   

   cd findit
   

2. Ensure the scripts are executable:

   chmod +x findit.sh
   

Usage

1. Run the Tool: Execute the bash script to run the scanner and closer scripts sequentially:

sudo ./findit.sh

2. Follow the Prompts:

• Enter the target IP address.
• Specify the start and end ports for the scan.

3. Output:

• The scanner will display and save the open ports in open_ports.txt.
• The closer script will read from open_ports.txt and close the detected open ports.

Notes

• Ensure you run the findit.sh script with sudo to allow the closing of ports.
• The tool modifies iptables rules, so make sure to review the changes to avoid blocking necessary traffic.
