🛡️ Network Diagnostic Tool

A comprehensive network security diagnostic tool that combines port scanning, intrusion detection, packet capture, and analysis capabilities. This enhanced tool has evolved from a simple port scanner into a full-featured network security platform.

🚀 Features

🔍 Advanced Port Scanning

• Multi-threaded scanning for high performance
• Banner grabbing for service fingerprinting
• Service detection for common protocols
• Traceroute functionality with TTL-based hop detection
• Port classification: Open/Closed/Filtered (firewall detection)
• Structured JSON output for integration

🛡️ Intrusion Detection System (IDS)

• Signature-based detection for known attack patterns
• Anomaly detection for suspicious behavior
• Real-time monitoring with configurable alerts
• Attack pattern detection:
  • Port scanning attempts
  • SYN flood patterns
  • Suspicious port access
  • Rapid connection attempts
  • Large payload detection
• Alert management with severity levels and confidence scores

📡 Packet Capture & Analysis

• Real-time packet capture using Scapy
• Deep packet inspection with protocol analysis
• Flow tracking and connection state monitoring
• Application protocol detection (HTTP, HTTPS, SSH, FTP, etc.)
• Header parsing for IP/TCP/UDP protocols
• Payload analysis with safe decoding

🧪 Comprehensive Testing

• Unit tests for all core functionality

# Export alerts to file
python cli.py ids --monitor --export alerts.json

Packet Analysis

# Capture packets for analysis
python cli.py capture --duration 120 --analyze

# Analyze existing pcap file
python cli.py capture --pcap network_traffic.pcap --analyze

# Custom capture filter
python cli.py capture --filter "tcp port 80" --duration 60

🚨 Security Considerations

Ethical Usage

• Only scan networks you own or have permission to test
• Respect rate limits and don't overwhelm targets
• Follow local laws and regulations
• Use responsibly for legitimate security testing

Tool Security

• Run with minimal privileges when possible
• Regularly update dependencies
• Monitor for false positives in IDS
