Python is a great programming language because of its versatility, ease of use, and wide adoption. In this lab, we will use its versatility and ease of use to look at IT security in the context of creating our own class. In this lab, we are going to build a scanner module used to detect the presence of nodes on a network. We will start by building out a skeleton program, followed by a complete build out of the code. Once the script is completed, we will use a test script to verify that our module works by pinging a range of IP addresses while search for a targeted host.
