# Network Scanning Script

This Bash script is designed to automate network scanning tasks using Nmap. It offers various scan types and options to suit different requirements.

## Usage

```bash
./network_scanner.sh <TARGET_IP> <SCAN_TYPE>

Parameters:

• <TARGET_IP>: The IP address of the target system or network to scan.
• <SCAN_TYPE>: The type of scan to perform. Available options are:
  • Quick: Shows all open ports quickly (~15 seconds).
  • Basic: Runs a quick scan, then performs a more thorough scan on found ports (~5 minutes).
  • UDP: Performs a scan on UDP ports (~5 minutes).
  • Full: Runs a full range port scan, then performs a thorough scan on new ports (~5-10 minutes).
  • Vulns: Runs a CVE scan and Nmap Vulns scan on all found ports (~5-15 minutes).
  • Recon: Suggests recon commands and prompts to automatically run them.
  • All: Runs all the scans (~20-30 minutes).

Examples:

./network_scanner.sh 192.168.1.100 Quick

# Perform a full scan on a target IP
./network_scanner.sh 192.168.1.100 Full

Requirements

• Bash shell
• Nmap tool installed (sudo apt install nmap on Debian-based systems)
