Creating Port Scanners with ChatGPT
ChatGPT and other GenAI platforms can be incredible platforms for helping us create security tools! Even if you are NOT a developer! I know I'm not!
If attackers can use ChatGPT to create phishing platforms and other attack scripts, why can't we use it to create our own tools?
I might not be a developer, but I do get ideas for different tools to make my security life easier and/or more interesting. And I found how easy it is to use ChatGPT to write these tools.
I'm a huge fan of Nmap and have used it forever. I'm not trying to replace Nmap, but creating a port scanner can be an interesting thought exercise on how ChatGPT can help us create our own unique tools.
In this short (for me) video, we'll walk through:
Creating a basic port scanner in Python to determine if certain ports are open.
Easily making changes to our initial script based on our personal preferences.
Adding a feature to the initial port scanner to grab available banners for service enumeration.
Working with both IT and ICS/OT assets.
