Day 6: UI Wireframe for Dashboard Design (Step by Step for a 5-Year-Old Kid)

Today, we’re going to design the look of your vulnerability scanner's dashboard! Imagine you're
designing a colorful control panel where you can see the results of all your scans (like a
superhero computer screen!). 🖥️

🎯 What Is a Wireframe?
A wireframe is like a drawing of your app before you build it. It helps you plan where things
will go on the screen, just like drawing a map for a treasure hunt! 🗺️

👉 Think of it as a blueprint for your dashboard.

✅ Step 1: Tools You Can Use for Wireframing (Pick One)

You can use these free tools to create your wireframe easily:

 Pen and Paper (Super easy!)

 Figma (Free online tool, colorful and fun)
 Canva (Drag and drop design tool)
 Balsamiq (For simple wireframes)

✅ Step 2: Break the Dashboard Into Sections

A good dashboard needs to be organized like a superhero command center. Here's how we can
divide it:

📦 Main Sections on the Dashboard

1. Header Section (For the title and navigation buttons)

2. Scan Input Section (Where you enter the target to scan)
3. Scan Results Section (Where results will be displayed)
4. Colorful Charts Section (For graphs and pie charts to make results fun!)
✅ Step 3: Draw the Wireframe (Rough Layout)
Let’s sketch it step by step!

1️⃣ Header Section (Top Part)

 White background.
 Add a title: "Vulnerability Scanner Dashboard"
 Add 3 Buttons:
o 🏠 Home
o 📊 View Scans
o 🔧 New Scan

👉 Why? The header helps you navigate between sections of your app easily.

2️⃣ Scan Input Section (Below the Header)

 A text box where you can type a website or IP address (like example.com).
 A dropdown menu to choose the type of scan:
o ✅ TCP Scan
o ✅ OS Detection
o ✅ Network Service Scan
 A big Start Scan button (Make it green for fun!)

👉 Why? This is where you tell the scanner what to check.

3️⃣ Scan Results Section (Middle of the Screen)

 A Results Box where you can see the scan results.

 Add a scroll bar for longer results.
 Show results in a list format:
o 📦 Port Number
o 🔑 Service Name
o ✅ State (Open/Closed)

👉 Why? So you can view all the important scan details clearly.
4️⃣ Colorful Charts Section (Bottom Part)

 Add 2 Pie Charts:

o 📊 Ports Open vs Closed
o 📊 Top Services Detected
 Add a Bar Chart:
o 📊 Number of Open Ports by Service

👉 Why? Charts make it easier to understand results visually (and they look cool too! 🎨).

✅ Step 4: Finalize Your Wireframe

Here’s how your wireframe might look (described in words):

-----------------------------------------------------
| 🏠 Home 📊 View Scans 🔧 New Scan | (Header Section)

Scan Type: [Dropdown ⬇️] | (Scan Input Section)

-----------------------------------------------------
| Target: [___________]
| [Start Scan Button] |
-----------------------------------------------------
| SCAN RESULTS | (Results Section)
| Port | Service | State |
| 80 | HTTP | Open |
| 443 | HTTPS | Open |
|__________________________________________________|
| 📊 Pie Chart: Open vs Closed Ports | (Charts Section)
| 📊 Pie Chart: Top Services Detected |
| 📊 Bar Chart: Number of Open Ports |
-----------------------------------------------------

✅ Step 5: Color Choices (Simple Yet Colorful)

 Background: White 🟢
 Buttons: Green for "Start Scan" ✅, Blue for Navigation 🟦
 Charts: Use bright colors like Red, Blue, Green, and Yellow for better visibility. 🎨

✅ Step 6: Save Your Wireframe Design

 If using Pen and Paper: Take a photo. 📸
 If using Figma/Canva: Export as PNG or PDF.
✅ Step 7: Why Create a Wireframe?
 📦 Organized Design: Helps you plan where each part goes.
 🎯 Focus on Important Features: Only the necessary elements are added.
 🧩 Easier Coding: Once you have the design, coding becomes easier.

✅ Step 8: What’s Next? (For Day 7)

 Convert this wireframe into HTML + CSS + React components.
 Create the Header, Scan Input Form, Results Box, and Charts in React.

🎉 Great job designing your dashboard wireframe today! Would you like me to generate a
Figma template or help you create the React components next? 😊

focus on Step 8: What’s Next? Convert this wireframe into HTML + CSS + React components. Create the
Header, Scan Input Form, Results Box, and Charts in React. explain in details for like 5 year old kid

Step 8: Convert the Wireframe into HTML + CSS + React Components (Like a
5-Year-Old Kid Tutorial)
🎉 Today, we’ll turn your wireframe into a real web page using HTML, CSS, and React!
Imagine you’re building a LEGO set where each piece fits perfectly together. 🧱

We’ll create:

 1. Header (The top part with buttons)

 2. Scan Input Form (Where you enter the website and choose the scan)
 3. Results Box (Where the scan results will show)
 4. Charts Section (Colorful charts for scan results)

✅ What Is HTML, CSS, and React?

 HTML = The skeleton of your page (like the structure of a house 🏠).
 CSS = The paint and decorations (colors, buttons, and fonts 🎨).
 React = The brain (makes the page interactive and smart 🧠).

✅ Step 1: Set Up the React Project (The Playground!)

Let's create a new React project where we’ll build the dashboard.

📦 Steps to Set Up React:

1. Open Command Prompt

2. Navigate to your project folder:
3. cd C:\Users\mscit\Desktop\vuln-scanner
4. Create a New React App:
5. npx create-react-app frontend
6. Go into the Project Folder:
7. cd frontend
8. Start the Development Server:
9. npm start

🎯 What Happens Now?

 Your browser will open automatically at http://localhost:3000/

 A default React page will show up. (Yay! 🎉)

✅ Step 2: Clean Up the Project (Declutter!)

 1. Delete Unnecessary Files:
o Go to the /src folder in the frontend project.
o Delete:
 logo.svg
 App.css
 App.test.js
 setupTests.js
 reportWebVitals.js
 index.css
2. Update index.js (in /src folder):

import React from 'react';

import ReactDOM from 'react-dom/client';
import App from './App';

const root = ReactDOM.createRoot(document.getElementById('root'));

root.render(<App />);

✅ Step 3: Create the Project Structure (LEGO Blocks!)

Let’s create components for each part of the dashboard:

1. In the /src folder, create a new folder called components.

2. Inside /src/components, create the following files:
o Header.js
o ScanInput.js
o ResultsBox.js
o Charts.js

✅ Step 4: Create the Header Component (Top of the Page)

📦 File: Header.js

import React from 'react';

import './Header.css';

function Header() {
return (
<header className="header">
<h1>🛡️Vulnerability Scanner Dashboard</h1>
<nav>
<button>🏠 Home</button>
<button>📊 View Scans</button>
<button>🔧 New Scan</button>
</nav>
</header>
);
}

export default Header;

🎨 File: Header.css (Create this in /src/components)

.header {
background-color: #f0f0f0;
padding: 20px;
text-align: center;
}

nav button {
margin: 5px;
padding: 10px 20px;
border: none;
cursor: pointer;
background: #007bff;
color: white;
border-radius: 5px;
}

nav button:hover {
background: #0056b3;
}

✅ What It Does:

 Shows the title.

 Adds 3 buttons for navigation.

✅ Step 5: Create the Scan Input Form (Where You Enter

Website)
📦 File: ScanInput.js

import React, { useState } from 'react';

import './ScanInput.css';

function ScanInput() {
const [target, setTarget] = useState('');
const [scanType, setScanType] = useState('TCP');

const handleScan = () => {

alert(`Scanning ${target} with ${scanType} scan!`);
};

return (
<div className="scan-input">
<input
 type="text"
placeholder="Enter Target (e.g., example.com)"
value={target}
onChange={(e) => setTarget(e.target.value)}
/>
<select value={scanType} onChange={(e) =>
setScanType(e.target.value)}>
<option value="TCP">TCP Scan</option>
<option value="OS">OS Detection</option>
<option value="Network">Network Service Scan</option>
</select>
<button onClick={handleScan}>Start Scan</button>
</div>
);
}

export default ScanInput;

🎨 File: ScanInput.css

.scan-input {
padding: 20px;
text-align: center;
}

input, select, button {

margin: 10px;
padding: 10px;
border-radius: 5px;
}

✅ What It Does:

 Lets you enter a website.

 Choose the scan type.
 Press the Start Scan button.

✅ Step 6: Create the Results Box (Show Scan Results)

📦 File: ResultsBox.js

import React from 'react';

import './ResultsBox.css';

function ResultsBox() {
return (
<div className="results-box">
<h2>📦 Scan Results</h2>
<ul>
<li>Port 80 - HTTP - Open</li>
 <li>Port 443 - HTTPS - Open</li>
</ul>
</div>
);
}

export default ResultsBox;

🎨 File: ResultsBox.css

.results-box {
padding: 20px;
background: #f8f9fa;
border-radius: 10px;
box-shadow: 0 0 10px rgba(0,0,0,0.1);
}

✅ What It Does:

 Displays results like a list.

✅ Step 7: Combine Everything in App.js

📦 File: App.js (Main File)

import React from 'react';

import Header from './components/Header';
import ScanInput from './components/ScanInput';
import ResultsBox from './components/ResultsBox';

function App() {
return (
<div>
<Header />
<ScanInput />
<ResultsBox />
</div>
);
}

export default App;

✅ Step 8: Run the Project

1. Start the server:
2. npm start
3. Open your browser:
http://localhost:3000/
🎉 You should see:

 The Header with buttons.

 A Scan Input Form.
 A Results Box showing dummy results.

✅ Next Steps (Day 7):

 Connect the Frontend (React) to the Backend (Flask).
 Send data from the Scan Form to your Flask server.

Great job! 🎨 Let me know if you want help adding charts next! 😊

Compiled with problems: × ERROR in ./src/reportWebVitals.js 5:4-24 Module not found: Error: Can't
resolve 'web-vitals' in 'C:\Users\mscit\Desktop\vuln-scanner\frontend\frontend\src'

The error you're seeing:

ERROR in ./src/reportWebVitals.js 5:4-24

Module not found: Error: Can't resolve 'web-vitals'

🚨 What This Error Means:

The error occurs because the reportWebVitals.js file is trying to import the web-vitals
package, but it doesn’t exist in your project. This happens because the create-react-app setup
includes this file by default, but it's not essential for basic projects.

✅ Solution 1: Delete reportWebVitals.js (Recommended)

Since reportWebVitals.js is not necessary for basic projects, you can simply delete it.

1. Go to your /src folder.

2. Delete the file: reportWebVitals.js.
3. Open the index.js file (in the /src folder) and remove the following line:
4. import reportWebVitals from './reportWebVitals';
5. Also, remove this line at the bottom of index.js:
6. reportWebVitals();
7. Save the changes and restart your project:
8. npm start

🎯 Why?

 reportWebVitals.js is mainly used for performance tracking, and you don’t need it
right now.

✅ Solution 2: Reinstall the web-vitals Package (If You Want to Keep It)

If you want to keep the file and use reportWebVitals.js, you can install the missing package.

1. Open your terminal inside the project folder:

2. cd C:\Users\mscit\Desktop\vuln-scanner\frontend
3. Run this command to install the missing package:
4. npm install web-vitals
5. Restart the server:
6. npm start

🎯 Why?

 This will add the missing web-vitals library and prevent the error.

✅ Solution 3: Clean and Reinstall All Dependencies (If Error Persists)

If the error still shows up:

 1. Delete the node_modules folder (this contains all packages):
2. rm -rf node_modules
3. Delete the package-lock.json file:
4. rm package-lock.json
5. Reinstall all packages:
6. npm install
7. Start the server again:
8. npm start

🎉 Now Your Project Should Work!

 If you deleted reportWebVitals.js, it will run cleanly without it.

 If you installed web-vitals, the error should be gone.

</nav>
</header>
);
}

export default Header;

🎨 File: src/components/Header.css

.header {
background: white;
text-align: center;
padding: 20px;
border-bottom: 2px solid #ddd;
}

nav button {
margin: 5px;
padding: 10px 20px;
border: none;
cursor: pointer;
background: #007bff;
color: white;
border-radius: 5px;
}

nav button:hover {
background: #0056b3;
}

✅ Step 4: Create the Scan Input Component

📦 File: src/components/ScanInput.js

import React, { useState } from 'react';

import './ScanInput.css';

function ScanInput() {
const [target, setTarget] = useState('');
const [scanType, setScanType] = useState('TCP');

const handleScan = () => {

alert(`Scanning ${target} using ${scanType} scan!`);
};

return (
<div className="scan-input">
<input
type="text"
placeholder="Enter Target (e.g., example.com)"
value={target}
 onChange={(e) => setTarget(e.target.value)}
/>
<select value={scanType} onChange={(e) =>
setScanType(e.target.value)}>
<option value="TCP">TCP Scan</option>
<option value="OS">OS Detection</option>
<option value="Network">Network Service Scan</option>
</select>
<button onClick={handleScan}>Start Scan</button>
</div>
);
}

export default ScanInput;

🎨 File: src/components/ScanInput.css

.scan-input {
padding: 20px;
text-align: center;
}

input, select, button {

margin: 10px;
padding: 10px;
border-radius: 5px;
border: 1px solid #ccc;
}

✅ Step 5: Create the Results Box Component

📦 File: src/components/ResultsBox.js

import React from 'react';

import './ResultsBox.css';

function ResultsBox() {
return (
<div className="results-box">
<h2>📦 Scan Results</h2>
<ul>
<li>Port 80 - HTTP - Open</li>
<li>Port 443 - HTTPS - Open</li>
</ul>
</div>
);
}

export default ResultsBox;

🎨 File: src/components/ResultsBox.css
.results-box {
padding: 20px;
background: #f8f9fa;
border-radius: 10px;
box-shadow: 0 0 10px rgba(0,0,0,0.1);
margin: 20px;
}

Edit src/App.js and save to reload. Learn React

The message "Edit src/App.js and save to reload. Learn React" is the default message
shown in a new React project created using create-react-app.

✅ Why You See This Message?

 It appears because the default code in src/App.js hasn't been changed yet.
 Let’s customize your src/App.js to show your vulnerability scanner dashboard
instead. 🎯

✅ Step 1: Open src/App.js

 1. Open your React project folder:
2. C:\Users\mscit\Desktop\vuln-scanner\frontend
3. Open the file src/App.js using your code editor (like VS Code).

<h1>🛡️Vulnerability Scanner Dashboard</h1>
<p>Welcome to your security dashboard! Customize this page
now!</p>
<button onClick={() => alert("Button clicked!")}>Click
Me!</button>
</div>
);
}

export default App;

✅ Step 3: Update the src/index.js File (Optional Cleanup)

Check your src/index.js to ensure it looks like this (without reportWebVitals):

import React from 'react';

import ReactDOM from 'react-dom/client';
import App from './App';

const root = ReactDOM.createRoot(document.getElementById('root'));

root.render(<App />);

✅ Step 4: Create App.css for Styling (Optional)

You can also add some basic styling in the src/App.css file:

.App {
text-align: center;
font-family: Arial, sans-serif;
padding: 20px;
background-color: #f8f9fa;
}
button {
padding: 10px 20px;
background: #007bff;
border: none;
color: white;
border-radius: 5px;
cursor: pointer;
}

button:hover {
background: #0056b3;
}

✅ Step 5: Restart the Project

1. Save all files.
2. Open the terminal and restart the development server:

Edit src/App.js and save to reload. Learn React

The message "Edit src/App.js and save to reload. Learn React" appears when you create a
new React project using create-react-app. It means you're still seeing the default template that
comes with a new React setup. Let's fix that by customizing your src/App.js file.

✅ Step 1: Open the src/App.js File

1. Go to your project directory:
2. cd C:\Users\mscit\Desktop\vuln-scanner\frontend
3. Open the file src/App.js using your code editor (like VS Code).
✅ Step 2: Replace the Default Code in src/App.js
Delete all the content inside src/App.js and replace it with this basic code:

import React from 'react';

import './App.css';

function App() {

🎯 Next Steps (Want to Build the Scanner Dashboard?)

Would you like me to help you:

 ✅ Add a form where you can enter the target for scanning?
 ✅ Connect your React frontend with the Flask backend?
 ✅ Add colorful charts for scan results?

Let me know! 😊

now focus on Next Steps : Connect the Frontend (React) to the Backend (Flask). Send data from the Scan
Form to your Flask server.

🚀 Day 7: Connect React Frontend to Flask Backend (Step by Step Like a 5-Year-
Old Kid)

Today, we’re going to connect your React frontend (the buttons and forms you made) with
your Flask backend (the server you built to scan websites). Imagine you’re building a walkie-
talkie 🎙️— React will send messages to Flask, and Flask will reply with results! 📡

✅ Step 1: Make Sure Your Flask Server is Running

Before connecting the frontend, the Flask server must be running.

1. Open a terminal and go to your backend folder:

 2. cd C:\Users\mscit\Desktop\vuln-scanner\backend
3. Run the Flask app:
4. python app.py
5. The server should start on:
6. http://127.0.0.1:5000

✅ Step 2: Set Up the React Project (Ensure It’s Running)

Open another terminal for the frontend:

1. Go to the frontend folder:

2. cd C:\Users\mscit\Desktop\vuln-scanner\frontend
3. Start the React development server:
4. npm start
5. Your browser will open at:
6. http://localhost:3000

✅ Step 3: Update ScanInput.js to Send Data to Flask

Let’s make the Scan Form send data from React to Flask using the fetch API.

📦 File: src/components/ScanInput.js (Updated)

import React, { useState } from 'react';
import './ScanInput.css';

function ScanInput() {
const [target, setTarget] = useState('');
const [scanType, setScanType] = useState('TCP');
const [result, setResult] = useState(null);

// Function to send data to Flask server

const handleScan = async () => {
if (!target) {
alert('Please enter a valid target!');
return;
}

// Prepare the data to send

const scanData = {
target: target
};

// Choose the correct API endpoint based on scan type

let endpoint = '';
if (scanType === 'TCP') endpoint = '/api/scan/tcp';
if (scanType === 'OS') endpoint = '/api/scan/os';
if (scanType === 'Network') endpoint = '/api/scan/network';
 try {
// Send the request to Flask server
const response = await fetch(`http://127.0.0.1:5000${endpoint}`, {
method: 'POST',
headers: {
'Content-Type': 'application/json'
},
body: JSON.stringify(scanData)
});

// Get the result from Flask server

const data = await response.json();
setResult(data); // Display results below the form
} catch (error) {
console.error('Error:', error);
alert('Failed to connect to the server.');
}
};

return (
<div className="scan-input">
<h2>🔍 Start a New Scan</h2>
<input
type="text"
placeholder="Enter Target (e.g., example.com)"
value={target}
onChange={(e) => setTarget(e.target.value)}
/>
<select value={scanType} onChange={(e) =>
setScanType(e.target.value)}>
<option value="TCP">TCP Scan</option>
<option value="OS">OS Detection</option>
<option value="Network">Network Service Scan</option>
</select>
<button onClick={handleScan}>Start Scan</button>

{/* Show results below after the scan */}

{result && (
<div className="scan-results">
<h3>Scan Results:</h3>
<pre>{JSON.stringify(result, null, 2)}</pre>
</div>
)}
</div>
);
}

export default ScanInput;

✅ What's Changed in This Code?

✅ State Added:

 Added result state to store scan results and display them.

✅ fetch() Added:

 The handleScan() function sends data to the Flask server using fetch.

✅ API Endpoints Handled Dynamically:

 Depending on the scan type, it calls the right Flask endpoint:

o /api/scan/tcp
o /api/scan/os
o /api/scan/network

✅ Displays Scan Results on the Page:

 Once the Flask server replies, the result is shown using a <pre> tag for better formatting.

✅ Step 4: Style the Scan Form (Optional)

📦 File: src/components/ScanInput.css
.scan-input {
padding: 20px;

✅ Step 5: Test the Connection (Step-by-Step)
1. Ensure Flask Backend is Running:
2. cd C:\Users\mscit\Desktop\vuln-scanner\backend
3. python app.py
4. Ensure React Frontend is Running:
5. cd C:\Users\mscit\Desktop\vuln-scanner\frontend
6. npm start
7. Go to Your Browser:
o Open http://localhost:3000/
8. Test the Form:
o Enter a target like "scanme.nmap.org"
o Choose "TCP Scan"
o Click "Start Scan"

✅ Expected Result:

 If the scan works, the results will be displayed below the form.
 If the server fails, it will show an error message.

✅ Step 6: Troubleshooting (Common Issues)

1. Flask Server Not Running?

 Make sure Flask server is running before you test.

python app.py

2. CORS Error (Cross-Origin Error)?

If you see an error like:

"CORS Policy Blocked the Request"

You need to allow React to talk to Flask using the Flask-CORS library:

1. Install Flask-CORS:
2. pip install flask-cors
3. Update app.py:

from flask_cors import CORS

app = Flask(__name__)
CORS(app)

3. Restart Flask Server.

3. Wrong API Endpoint?

 Double-check the endpoint URL in ScanInput.js:

 const response = await fetch(`http://127.0.0.1:5000${endpoint}`);
 Ensure the paths match the endpoints defined in app.py.

✅ Step 7: What’s Next? (Day 8)

🎯 Now that your React form can send data to Flask, the next steps can be:

 📊 Add charts to display scan results beautifully.

 🛠️Improve error handling.
 📦 Save scan results to a database for later viewing.

🚀 Day 8: Add Charts, Error Handling, and Database Integration (Step by Step)

Now that your React form can send data to the Flask backend, let’s make your Vulnerability
Scanner Dashboard even better! 🎯

We will focus on:

1. 📊 Adding Colorful Charts using chart.js

2. 🛠️Improving Error Handling
3. 📦 Saving Scan Results to a Database (SQLite)

✅ Step 1: Add Charts for Scan Results (React + Chart.js)

📦 Install chart.js and react-chartjs-2:

1. Open your frontend terminal and run:

2. npm install chart.js react-chartjs-2

📦 Update the Results Box to Include Charts:

📦 File: src/components/ResultsBox.js (Updated)

import React from 'react';

import './ResultsBox.css';
import { Pie, Bar } from 'react-chartjs-2';

function ResultsBox({ results }) {

if (!results) {
return <p>No scan results yet!</p>;
}

// Prepare data for charts

const openPorts = results.results?.filter(port => port.state ===
'open').length || 0;
const closedPorts = results.results?.filter(port => port.state ===
'closed').length || 0;

const data = {
labels: ['Open Ports', 'Closed Ports'],
datasets: [{
label: 'Port Status',
data: [openPorts, closedPorts],
backgroundColor: ['#28a745', '#dc3545']
}]
};

const serviceData = {
labels: results.results?.map(port => port.service) || [],
datasets: [{
label: 'Services Detected',
data: results.results?.map(port => 1) || [],
backgroundColor: ['#007bff']
}]
};

return (
<div className="results-box">
<h2>📦 Scan Results</h2>
<pre>{JSON.stringify(results, null, 2)}</pre>

{/* Pie Chart for Open/Closed Ports */}

<h3>Open vs Closed Ports</h3>
<Pie data={data} />

{/* Bar Chart for Services Detected */}

<h3>Services Detected</h3>
<Bar data={serviceData} />
</div>
);
}

export default ResultsBox;

🎨 Style the Charts:

📦 File: src/components/ResultsBox.css

.results-box {
padding: 20px;
background: #f8f9fa;
border-radius: 10px;
box-shadow: 0 0 10px rgba(0,0,0,0.1);
margin: 20px;
}

canvas {
margin-top: 20px;
max-width: 500px;
}

✅ How It Works Now:

 A Pie Chart shows open vs closed ports.

 A Bar Chart shows the detected services.
 When you send a scan request, charts will update with the results.

✅ Step 2: Improve Error Handling (React and Flask Fixes)

📦 Update ScanInput.js (Better Error Handling):

📦 File: src/components/ScanInput.js (Updated)

import React, { useState } from 'react';

import ResultsBox from './ResultsBox';

function ScanInput() {
const [target, setTarget] = useState('');
const [scanType, setScanType] = useState('TCP');
const [results, setResults] = useState(null);
const [error, setError] = useState('');

const handleScan = async () => {

if (!target) {
alert('Please enter a valid target!');
return;
}

const scanData = { target: target };

let endpoint = scanType === 'TCP' ? '/api/scan/tcp'
: scanType === 'OS' ? '/api/scan/os'
: '/api/scan/network';
 try {
const response = await fetch(`http://127.0.0.1:5000${endpoint}`, {
method: 'POST',
headers: { 'Content-Type': 'application/json' },
body: JSON.stringify(scanData)
});

if (!response.ok) {
throw new Error('Server Error: Unable to complete scan.');
}

const data = await response.json();

setResults(data);
setError('');
} catch (error) {
setError('Error connecting to the server. Please try again.');
}
};

return (
<div className="scan-input">
<h2>🔍 Start a New Scan</h2>
<input
type="text"
placeholder="Enter Target (e.g., example.com)"
value={target}
onChange={(e) => setTarget(e.target.value)}
/>
<select value={scanType} onChange={(e) =>
setScanType(e.target.value)}>
<option value="TCP">TCP Scan</option>
<option value="OS">OS Detection</option>
<option value="Network">Network Service Scan</option>
</select>
<button onClick={handleScan}>Start Scan</button>

{error && <p style={{ color: 'red' }}>{error}</p>}

{/* Show Results and Charts */}

<ResultsBox results={results} />
</div>
);
}

export default ScanInput;

✅ Error Handling Added:

 error state added to show messages when the server fails.

 If the response is not successful (response.ok === false), an error message is shown.
✅ Step 3: Save Scan Results in the Flask Database (SQLite
Integration)
📦 Update app.py to Save Results in SQLite Database:
from flask import Flask, request, jsonify
from flask_sqlalchemy import SQLAlchemy
from flask_cors import CORS
import nmap

app = Flask(__name__)
CORS(app)

# Database setup
app.config['SQLALCHEMY_DATABASE_URI'] = 'sqlite:///scans.db'
db = SQLAlchemy(app)

# Database Model
class ScanResult(db.Model):
id = db.Column(db.Integer, primary_key=True)
target = db.Column(db.String(100))
scan_type = db.Column(db.String(50))
result = db.Column(db.Text)

with app.app_context():
db.create_all()

# TCP Scan Endpoint

@app.route('/api/scan/tcp', methods=['POST'])
def scan_tcp():
data = request.json
target = data.get('target')
scanner = nmap.PortScanner()
scanner.scan(target, arguments='-sS')
results = scanner[target]['tcp']

# Save to database
new_scan = ScanResult(target=target, scan_type="TCP", result=str(results))
db.session.add(new_scan)
db.session.commit()

return jsonify({"target": target, "results": results})

# View All Saved Scans

@app.route('/api/scans', methods=['GET'])
def view_all_scans():
scans = ScanResult.query.all()
scan_list = [{"target": scan.target, "scan_type": scan.scan_type,
"result": scan.result} for scan in scans]
return jsonify(scan_list)

if __name__ == "__main__":
app.run(debug=True)
✅ How This Works:

 ✅ Scans are saved in the database.

 ✅ The /api/scans endpoint shows all saved results.

✅ Step 4: Test Everything Together!

1. Run Flask Server:

2. python app.py
3. Run React Frontend:
4. npm start
5. Go to: http://localhost:3000
6. Perform a Scan.
7. 🎉 Charts will display the results!
8. 🎯 Check the saved results: http://127.0.0.1:5000/api/scans

🎯 Next Steps (Day 9):

 ✅ Build a Scans History Page for the saved results.

 ✅ Add a Loader Animation for when the scan is running.
