Improve readability and efficiency
This pull request improves code readability and efficiency across multiple files in the autorecon project by introducing Python f-strings, simplifying conditional statements, and refactoring loops. Additionally, it updates the base image in the Dockerfile. Below are the key changes grouped by theme:
Code readability improvements:
- Replaced string concatenation with f-strings in
autorecon/default-plugins/reporting-cherrytree.py,autorecon/default-plugins/winrm-detection.py,autorecon/main.py, andautorecon/io.pyto enhance readability and maintainability. [1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6]
Conditional simplifications:
- Simplified
ifconditions by directly checking for truthy values instead of using length checks inautorecon/default-plugins/subdomain-enumeration.pyandautorecon/default-plugins/virtual-host-enumeration.py. [1] [2] - Refactored ternary operations for concise conditional assignment in
autorecon/default-plugins/portscan-all-tcp-ports.pyandautorecon/default-plugins/portscan-top-tcp-ports.py. [1] [2]
Loop refactoring:
- Refactored loops to use
enumeratefor cleaner iteration and removed redundant increment statements inautorecon/io.py. - Replaced
for attempt in range(10)withfor _ in range(10)to indicate unused loop variables inautorecon/io.py.
Pattern matching enhancements:
- Introduced the walrus operator (
:=) to streamline pattern matching and assignment inautorecon/io.py,autorecon/default-plugins/portscan-all-tcp-ports.py, and other plugins. [1] [2] [3] [4]
Dockerfile update:
- Updated the base image in the
Dockerfilefromdebian:latesttodebian:12.10for better stability and reproducibility.
[Copilot is generating a summary...]This pull request includes updates to improve code readability, modernize syntax, and enhance maintainability across multiple files in the project. Changes include the adoption of f-strings for string formatting, the use of assignment expressions (:=) for cleaner conditional logic, and refactoring repetitive constructs into more concise expressions.
Code modernization and readability improvements:
-
Adoption of f-strings for string formatting:
- Replaced older string concatenation and formatting methods with f-strings across various files, such as
autorecon/default-plugins/reporting-cherrytree.py,autorecon/io.py, andautorecon/main.py. This improves readability and consistency. [1] [2] [3]
- Replaced older string concatenation and formatting methods with f-strings across various files, such as
-
Use of assignment expressions (
:=):- Simplified conditional logic by replacing separate assignments and checks with assignment expressions (
:=) in loops and conditionals in files likeautorecon/default-plugins/portscan-all-tcp-ports.pyandautorecon/io.py. [1] [2]
- Simplified conditional logic by replacing separate assignments and checks with assignment expressions (
Refactoring for conciseness:
-
Simplified conditional expressions:
- Refactored verbose
if-elseconstructs into concise one-liners using ternary operators in files such asautorecon/default-plugins/portscan-all-tcp-ports.pyandautorecon/default-plugins/portscan-top-tcp-ports.py. [1] [2]
- Refactored verbose
-
Improved loop constructs:
- Replaced manual loop counters with Python's
enumerate()function to enhance clarity and eliminate redundant code inautorecon/io.py.
- Replaced manual loop counters with Python's
Dependency updates:

Dockerfile base image update:
- Updated the base image in
Dockerfilefromdebian:latesttodebian:12.10to ensure compatibility and stability with a specific Debian version.
- Updated the base image in
