Introduction
In cybersecurity and networking, you don’t always need a high-end desktop setup to practice your skills. Sometimes, the best lab is the one right in your pocket.
In this post, I will share how I successfully wrote and executed a network port and DNS scanner using Python and Scapy, running entirely inside Termux on an unrooted Android device. If you've ever wanted to turn your phone into a portable network analysis tool, here is how you can do it.
Why Termux and Scapy?
Termux brings a powerful Linux environment to Android without requiring root access. By pairing it with Scapy—a powerful Python-based interactive packet manipulation program—we can craft custom packets to scan systems for open ports (SYN scans) and active DNS services.
