QuickScan is a simple port scanning utility with some useful supporting features. As such it comes with functionality to query DNS in order to resolve domains and has a built in WHOIS lookup. Conveniently the program saves the results of your scans and assorted operations to an application log in the current working directory for future reference and/or further processing.

Starting the program from the terminal python quickscan.py without arguments, will show you a quick introduction message and some usage information. The full set of options available to you are as follows.

usage: quickscan.py [-h] [-r RESOLVE] [-w WHOIS] [-s SCAN] [-v]

optional arguments:
  -h, --help                show this help message and exit
  -r RESOLVE, --resolve     enter a domain to resolve
  -w WHOIS, --whois WHOIS   query WHOIS on target host
  -s SCAN, --scan SCAN      specify the host(IP) you wish to perform a port scan on
  -v, --verbose             toggle verbosity

For clarity please see some examples below.

quickscan.py --help
quickscan.py --resolve google.com 
quickscan.py --scan 192.168.55.88 -v

Should you find you do not have these installed you can use Python's built in package manager to install them like so.
