Automated Script (Python)

```python

import subprocess

def run_security_scan(target_url):
print(f"Starting security scan for {target_url}...")
try:
result = subprocess.run(["nmap", "-sV", target_url], capture_output=True, text=True)
print("Scan Completed!")
return result.stdout
except Exception as e:
return f"Error running scan: {str(e)}"

if __name__ == "__main__":
target = input("Enter the target URL or IP: ")
scan_result = run_security_scan(target)
print(scan_result)

```

Python Script Explanation

### Automated Security Scan Script - Explanation

1. **Importing Modules:**
- We use `subprocess` to run system commands.

2. **run_security_scan(target_url):**
- This function takes a target URL or IP and runs an Nmap scan.
- It uses `subprocess.run()` to execute the Nmap command (`nmap -sV target_url`).
- The `capture_output=True` option captures the command's output.
- If the scan is successful, it returns the scan results.
- If an error occurs, it catches the exception and returns an error message.

3. **Main Execution (`if __name__ == "__main__"`):**


- Asks the user to enter a target URL or IP.
- Calls `run_security_scan(target)` and prints the results.

Automated Script (Java)

```java

import java.io.BufferedReader;
import java.io.InputStreamReader;

public class SecurityScanner {


public static void main(String[] args) {
try {
System.out.println("Enter the target URL or IP: ");
BufferedReader reader = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(System.in));
String target = reader.readLine();

ProcessBuilder pb = new ProcessBuilder("nmap", "-sV", target);


Process process = pb.start();

BufferedReader outputReader = new BufferedReader(new


InputStreamReader(process.getInputStream()));
String line;
while ((line = outputReader.readLine()) != null) {
System.out.println(line);
}

process.waitFor();
System.out.println("Scan Completed!");
} catch (Exception e) {
System.out.println("Error running scan: " + e.getMessage());
}
}
}

```

Java Script Explanation

### Automated Security Scan Script (Java) - Explanation

1. **Reading User Input:**


- Uses `BufferedReader` to take input from the user for the target URL/IP.

2. **Executing Nmap Command:**


- Uses `ProcessBuilder` to execute `nmap -sV target` as a system command.
- Starts a new process and captures the command output.

3. **Processing Output:**
- Reads the output using `BufferedReader` and prints each line.

4. **Handling Errors:**
- Uses a try-catch block to handle exceptions and print error messages.
