Title: Building an Open-Source Network Scanning Tool

Description: We propose creating an open-source network scanning tool that combines essential features for security professionals and developers. Inspired by Burp Suite Community Edition, our goal is to provide a free and powerful alternative for network scanning and testing.

Features:

Port Scanning: The tool will perform comprehensive port scans to identify open ports on target systems. Token Scanning: It will search for sensitive tokens (e.g., API keys, authentication tokens) in web traffic. Complete DNS Lookup: Users can perform DNS lookups to resolve hostnames, IP addresses, and other domain-related information. Vulnerability Scanner: The tool will detect common vulnerabilities such as Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF), Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF), and more. Intercept/Proxy Requests: Developers can intercept and modify HTTP requests using a built-in proxy. I am a CONTRIBUTOR in GSSoC'24
