I'm working on following script to automate enumeration phase.
I use subprocess to run nmap like this:
subprocess.run(["nmap", "192.168.1.1"])
I want to achive possibility to kill this subprocess and execute rest of code, but when i pick ctrl + c whole script run down.
Background it by doing :
ctrl+z
You can make subprocess in try / except:
try:
subprocess.run(["nmap", "192.168.1.1"])
except:
print("Nmap Stopped.")
pass
When you press CTRL+C an error will be occur and you handle it with except section.
this is where you should use subprocess.Popen or subprocess.call rather than subprocess.run
subprocess.call will be a blocking call, which mean it wait until the command finish and then it will move on with your code.
or another way is to put your subprocess.run in an async function and execute it separately
example
import asyncio
async def run_nmap(ip:str):
subprocess.run(["nmap", ip])
def run_the_thing():
...
loop = asyncio.get_event_loop()
loop.create_task(run_nmap("192.168.1.1"))
...
subprocess.run(["nmap", "192.168.1.1"])- i don't want to wait for result of that command just skip to next
