Network Port Scanner GUI using Java

This Java application provides a sophisticated graphical user interface (GUI) for scanning open ports on a target system within a network. The GUI version enhances user interaction and offers a visually intuitive way to configure, initiate, and view the results of port scans.

Features

1. Target Host Input

Enter the target host, which can be an IP address or a domain name. This is the system you want to scan for open ports.

2. Port Range Configuration

Specify the range of ports to scan by entering the start and end port numbers. This flexibility allows users to narrow down or broaden the scope of the scan.

3. Scan Initiation

Initiate the port scanning process through an easy-to-use graphical interface. Simply click the "Scan" button to begin the scan.

4. Real-time Results Display

View the scan results in real-time within the graphical interface. Open ports are highlighted, providing instant feedback on the status of each port.

5. User-friendly Interface

Leveraging JavaFX, the GUI provides an aesthetically pleasing and intuitive user experience, making it accessible for users of all levels.

6. Error Handling

The GUI version includes robust error handling to gracefully manage situations where a connection cannot be established to a specific port, ensuring a smooth user experience.

7. Timeout Mechanism

Each port connection attempt includes a timeout mechanism, preventing the application from hanging on unresponsive ports and improving the overall scanning efficiency.
