StarPort

This is a simple graphical user interface (GUI) application built with Python to scan a range of ports on a given IP address. It identifies open ports and displays them in green text for easy visibility. The application uses the socket library to attempt connections and tkinter for the GUI.

Features

• Allows user input for IP address and port range (start and end).
• Scans each port in the specified range, showing only the open ports in green.
• Provides immediate feedback on the open ports and displays results in a dedicated text area within the GUI.

Prerequisites

• Python 3.x installed on your machine.
• Required libraries:
  • socket (built-in with Python)
  • tkinter (also included with Python)

Installation

1. Ensure that Python is installed on your machine by running python --version in your terminal or command prompt.
2. Clone this repository or download the script file.
