Async Scanning

• Controlling async scans
• Retrieving status

Nmapthon2 provides another scanner class to perform asynchronous scans and operations, which is NmapAsyncScanner. This class inherits from NmapScanner, so all the methods that you just learned from the previous sections can also be used here. This class, allows us to:

• Perform scans in the background.

• Pause your main thread until the scan finishes.

• Retrieve the scan status.

import nmapthon2 as nm2

scanner = nm2.NmapAsyncScanner()
