Python Networking Projects

Reverse-Shell

A shell which can access information about any remote server. The interface looks like a bash terminal virtually running on your PC, although everything that is displayed is the content of the server.

To access control, you need firewall permissions. So its best to try it out on your own server.

Usage

Run server.py in the background (in your workstation). It will create a socket server and will be listening to the port 8888

Now you need to run the file client.py in the device you want to control. On running it for the first time, a request will be sent to the server running on your machine. The server will acknowledge that request and will respond with bash commands you enter in the shell. Same commands will be carried out in the client and the final response will be printed out on your shell. Though it might look like you are running those commands on your machine but you have actually connected to the target (client)

Now you're all setup to ruin the device 😈

Packet-Sniffer

Packet Sniffer is a program to get access to the data flowing through your router/ethernet. Any kind of data can be sniffed from the browser.

Needs Super-User permission for certain utilities to function.

Description

The file sniffer.py when run with python 3 will listen to packets recieved from the socket connection. On receiving the ethernet frame, the program will break it into individual pieces to ascertain the kind of Protocols. i.e IPv4/IPv6 and ICMP,TCP,UDP (ICMP: Internet Control Message Protocol, TCP: Transmission Control Protocol (Most Common), UDP: User Datagram Protocol). Each protocol incorporates discrete byte information. So the method to unpack the data is distinct. In all the cases though, we'll get Source and Destination Ports (MAC Addresses).

Useful for finding out the bottlenecks in your network or just spying on someone 😈

Website-Scanner

A tool to scan a particular website and extract useful information out of it

Description

Following information is obtained

• Nmap port scan
• IP Address
• Whois detail
• robots.txt

Input is expected as the name of project directory and the full Url of the website

TODO: Check for existence of robots.txt. Many websites allow full scraping access.
