Hi there I just would like to ask what would be the meaning of this line :


if(s.connect_ex((ip,int(ports)))==0):

Thanks for your insights.

socket.connect_ex(address) -> return an error indicator instead of raising an exception for errors returned by the C-level connect() call (other problems, such as “host not found,” can still raise exceptions).

The error indicator is 0 if the operation succeeded,
which in your case that's literally means "if the connection succeeds".
