Abstrct:
This research paper investigates the efficacy of a vulnerability scanner utilizing banner grabbing techniques coupled with the parsing of exploit databases for identifying potential vulnerabilities in network services. Through the integration of Shodan's API and Exploit-DB, the scanner aims to automate the process of identifying services, categorizing them, and cross-referencing them with known exploits. The study evaluates the effectiveness of this approach in detecting vulnerabilities across different service categories. Results indicate the scanner's capability to accurately identify services and provide insights into potential vulnerabilities, facilitating proactive security measures.
