Banner Grabber collects information about computer system on a network or service running on a its open ports. The python code for this service is given below:
Customiezed on Canva
To collect information about a system we need a python library socket.
import socket
The open ports we want to see.
COMMON_PORTS = [22, 80, 443]
Then a function to do our job:
def grab_banner(ip, port): try: sock = socket.socket(socket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_STREAM) # IPv4 TCP socket sock.settimeout(5) # Set a 5-second timeout sock.connect((ip, port)) try: banner = sock.recv(1024).decode().strip() print(f"[+] Port {port} Banner: {banner}") except: print(f"[+] Port {port} is open but no banner received") sock.close() except Exception as e: print(f"[-] Port {port} is closed or filtered ({e})")
To run the grab_banner function, we have created a main function, because all other languages contain a main function.
if name == "main": ip = input("Enter target IP or hostname: ").strip() print(f"\nScanning {ip}...\n") for port in COMMON_PORTS: grab_banner(ip, port)
Use command to run program:
python3 program_name.py
