Building a Recon Tool
Practical script.
Putting It All Together
Now you will combine variables, loops, tool execution, and parsing into one practical recon script.
The goal: take a target, discover open ports, fingerprint services, and save organized results - all in one command.
Planning the Script
Good tools are designed before they are coded. Our recon script will:
- Validate input (require a target).
- Create an output directory.
- Run a port scan, then version detection.
- Parse and summarize open ports.
