#  Network Port Scanning Task

# Objective
Scan the local network to discover open ports and understand potential exposure using Nmap and Wireshark.

# Tools Used
- Nmap (for scanning)
- Wireshark (for packet capturing)

# Steps Followed

1. Checked local IP: `10.0.2.15/24`
2. Identified network range: `10.0.2.0/24`
3. Ran Nmap TCP SYN scan:
   ```bash
   sudo nmap -sS 10.0.2.0/24 -oN scan_result.txt

4. Captured packets with Wireshark and saved as scan.pcapng
5. Analyzed scan results

Findings

IP Address	MAC Address	Open Ports	Services
10.0.2.2	52:54:00:12:35:02	None	—
10.0.2.3	52:54:00:12:35:03	None	—
10.0.2.4	52:54:00:12:35:04	None	—
10.0.2.15	Local machine	80	HTTP

⚠️ Risks Identified

• Port 80 (HTTP) is open on the host machine.
• HTTP is unencrypted, which makes it vulnerable to eavesdropping and man-in-the-middle attacks.

Files Included

• scan_result.txt: Nmap output
• scan.pcapng: Wireshark capture
• README.md: Task documentation

Outcome

Gained hands-on experience in network scanning and learned how to identify basic service exposure using open ports.
