Welcome back to our series on conducting OSINT investigations on the Matrix platform. This is the fourth installment, so if you haven’t read the others you probably want to to go review them now. The first post was an introduction to the matrix platform itself – a high level description with an emphasis on items […]
Bokeh is a python module designed for plotting and graphing data in a web browser. I played around with this using Jupyter notebooks, Bokeh server scripts, and embedded in a Flask app. I was able to generate a plot with a Bitcoin price ticker, which seems like a nice accomplishment for a starter project. I […]
Scrapy is a scrappy little web scraper you can use to scrape web content using CSS or XPath selectors and even Regex. Using CSS selectors is probably the easiest for people who are familiar with the web, but the hardcore user can even mix-n-match. We can open a shell, a familiar technique to Python programmers, […]
Let’s now take a look at using cryptographic hashing functions in Python programs. We’ll mainly focus on the hashlib module, that provides all the common hashing functions we’re likely to need. To cover almost every use case you’ll only actually need a handful of these despite your interpreter probably supporting more. To see the hashing […]
Welcome back to another Python programming post. This is a followup to my previous posts about using scapy – that versatile network traffic utility. We went through the basics of creating custom packets, using the basic scapy commands, and then looking at how to build a simple DNS query program using scapy. Feel free to […]
I’m new to Python although I’ve been programming for years in other languages. So imagine my surprise when I found out how great scapy is! In a couple of earlier posts I wrote about crafting custom packets and using scapy commands, so now I’m going to talk about programming with scapy. Instead of finishing scripts […]
Welcome to the second part of our scapy series of posts. In the previous post we discussed creating custom packets using scapy and gave some simple examples. In this post we’ll cover common commands for operations on packets like inspecting them and for network operations like sniffing traffic. In the next post we’ll introduce programming […]
According to the introduction page on the scapy documentation website: Scapy is a Python program that enables the user to send, sniff and dissect and forge network packets. This capability allows construction of tools that can probe, scan or attack networks. What that doesn’t tell you is that scapy can be used interactively or imported […]
