Screenshots based on a port list

In the previous script, we created our base function to return an image for a URL. We will now expand on that to loop over a list of ports that are commonly associated with web-based administration portals. This will allow us to point the script at an IP and automatically run through the possible ports that could be associated with a web server. This is to be used in cases when we don't know which ports are open on a server, rather than when where we are specifying the port and domain.

Getting ready

In order for this script to work, we'll need to have the script created in the Getting screenshots of a website with QtWeb Kit recipe. This should be saved in the Pythonxx/Lib folder and named something clear and memorable. Here, we've named that script screenshot.py. The naming of your script is particularly essential as we reference it with an important declaration.

How to do it…

This is the script that we will be using:

import screenshot
import requests

portList...
