Shocking Python Automation Scripts You Must Try (3)

The AutoImage downloader is a key challenge in collecting image data for computer vision projects. As Andrew Ng said, if you can collect a large dataset, then the algorithm doesn't matter. Data plays a crucial role in improving model performance and accuracy.

# Import the required modules and functions
from simple_image_download import simple_image_download as simp

# Create a response object for handling image downloads
response = simp.simple_image_download

# Set the keyword
keyword = "Dog"  # Specify the keyword for downloading images as "Dog"

# Download images
try:
    response().download(keyword, 20)  # Call the download method to attempt to download 20 images with the keyword "Dog"
    print("Images downloaded successfully.")  # If the download is successful, output a success message
except Exception as e:
    print("An error occurred:", e)  # If an exception occurs during the download process, output the error message

Port Scanner Let's talk about network security!
In computer networks, a port is a communication endpoint that allows different processes or services to connect and exchange data over the network. Ports are identified by numbers and are associated with specific protocols.

# Import the socket library for network connections
import socket
# Import the PrettyTable library to generate tables for easier reading of output results
from prettytable import PrettyTable

# Define a dictionary containing common ports and their potential security vulnerabilities
vulnerabilities = {
    80: "HTTP (Hypertext Transfer Protocol) - Used for unencrypted web traffic",
    443: "HTTPS (Secure HTTP) - Used for encrypted web traffic",
    22: "SSH (Secure Shell) - Used for secure remote access",
    21: "FTP (File Transfer Protocol) - Used for file transfers",
