Creating a simple port scanner is an excellent way to learn about networking in Go. This project involves using the `net` package to identify open ports on a specified server, iterating through all possible ports and establishing TCP connections to check their status. Error handling is included, although more robust solutions would be advisable for production use. To improve efficiency, the implementation utilizes concurrency, allowing multiple ports to be scanned simultaneously. A timeout mechanism prevents the operation from hanging on unresponsive ports, while chunking techniques help manage the number of simultaneous connections to avoid overwhelming the server. This approach lays a foundational understanding of network programming, with references to more complex topics like HTTP requests hinted at for future exploration.
