Summary

This pull request fixes multiple issues in the CyberScan tool to make it fully functional with Python 3 and improve stability across platforms.

Changes Made

  • ✅ Updated the entire script for Python 3 compatibility (print statements, syntax)
  • ✅ Fixed socket connection errors (line 77 issue) with proper timeout and error handling
  • ✅ Replaced undefined variable serveur with correct variable ip
  • ✅ Added safe import handling for optional libraries (pcapy, pygeoip)
  • ✅ Prevented GeoIP crashes for localhost/private IPs
  • ✅ Improved user input validation for host and port ranges
  • ✅ Added better exception handling and clean exit messages

Testing

  • Tested on Windows using Python 3.14
  • Verified port scan output for both localhost (127.0.0.1) and external test server (scanme.nmap.org)
  • Confirmed graceful handling when optional libraries are missing

Impact

CyberScan now runs smoothly on modern systems (Windows/Linux/Termux)
and can be used for basic, stable network reconnaissance without crashes.
