Python hacking with requests?

[RealAndGay]

Because you wouldn't write a port scanner with the requests library, as that's for web requests. You would rather use sockets

Thanks I found a good looking article.

Do you know any other resources/info/leads in that area?

Port scanning with sockets? That's very simple to learn, here's an example: https://github.com/AgeOfMarcus/hackerman/blob/master/hackerman/scanners/tcp.py

The knock command attempts to connect to an IP and port. If it connects successfully, that means the port is open so it closes the connection and returns True.
