TCP Port Scanner (python, written by Gemini Code Assist)

Gemini Code Assist wrote this python project from the task below. It does not run on a clean Ubuntu 22.04 machine as written.

Task given to the agent:

TASK: TCP Port Scanner

Write a program that scans TCP ports on a target host to determine which ports are open, closed, or filtered, with support for service detection, concurrent scanning, and configurable scan ranges.

FUNCTIONAL REQUIREMENTS:
- Accept a target hostname or IP address as a command-line argument
- Scan a port range specified via --ports flag (e.g., --ports 1-1024, --ports 80,443,8080, or --ports 1-65535); default: well-known ports 1-1024
- Perform TCP connect scanning: attempt a full TCP handshake to determine if a port is open
- Support concurrent scanning with configurable thread count via --threads flag (default: 100) to speed up large range scans
- Implement configurable connection timeout via --timeout flag (default: 1 second per port)
- Detect common services on open ports by matching port numbers to known services (HTTP/80, HTTPS/443, SSH/22, FTP/21, SMTP/25, DNS/53, etc.) using a built-in service name database
- Attempt basic banner grabbing on open ports to identify the running service version via --banner flag
- Support scanning multiple hosts via --hosts flag (comma-separated or CIDR notation for a subnet)
- Print scan results to console in real-time as ports are discovered, with a final summary table showing: port number, state (open/closed/filtered), service name, and banner (if captured)
- Save the full scan report as JSON with --output flag (default: scan_report.json) including scan duration, host info, and per-port results
- If no target is given, scan localhost (127.0.0.1) on the common ports (21, 22, 25, 53, 80, 110, 143, 443, 993, 995, 3306, 5432, 6379, 8080, 8443) and display the results
- Handle errors: unresolvable hostnames, network unreachable, connection refused vs timeout distinction, and permission issues

Create a complete Python project for a clean Ubuntu 22.04 machine with only Python 3.10+ installed. Include:
- Source code
- requirements.txt with all dependencies (direct and transitive) pinned to exact versions
- README.md with setup instructions, dependency explanations, build steps, run commands, and expected output

# TCP Port Scanner (Python)

A multithreaded TCP connect scanner for network reconnaissance and debugging.

## Setup Instructions

1. Ensure Python 3.10+ is installed.
2. No external dependencies are required.

## Run Commands

- **Scan Localhost** (Default range 1-1024):
  ```bash
  python port_scanner.py
  ```
- **Scan Specific Host and Range**:
  ```bash
  python port_scanner.py 192.168.1.1 --ports 1-100 --threads 50
  ```
- **Scan Specific Ports**:
  ```bash
  python port_scanner.py google.com --ports 80,443,8080
  ```

## Features
- **Concurrent Scanning**: Uses `ThreadPoolExecutor` for high-speed scanning.
- **Service Detection**: Maps port numbers to a database of well-known services.
- **Banner Grabbing**: Attempts to capture service identification strings.
- **JSON Output**: Exports results for further analysis.

# No external dependencies required for standard socket-based scanning
