Python Modules for Networking & Cybersecurity

Introduction

Python provides many modules that let you interact with networks, create servers, and secure data.
In this section we cover Scapy, socket, hashlib, and cryptography with simple examples.

Scapy Basics

Scapy is a powerful library for packet crafting and analysis. It allows you to sniff (capture) packets,
build custom packets, and send them. It is used for learning and testing network security.

Example: Sniff Packets with Scapy

This code listens for packets and prints a summary of each one.

Socket Module

The socket module gives low-level access to network connections. You can build servers, clients,
and experiment with TCP/UDP communication.

Example: Simple TCP Client

The following code connects to [Link] on port 80 and sends a basic HTTP request.

Hashlib

Hashlib provides hashing algorithms such as SHA-256 and MD5. Hashes are used to verify data
integrity. They are one-way functions.

Example: Hash a Password

This code converts a password into a SHA-256 hash to store securely.

Cryptography
The cryptography module allows encryption and decryption of data. You can encrypt files,
messages, or keys to protect sensitive information.

Example: Encrypt and Decrypt a Message

This code shows how to use Fernet symmetric encryption.

Scapy Sniffing Example

from [Link] import sniff

def show_packet(packet):
print([Link]())

sniff(count=5, prn=show_packet)

Socket TCP Client Example

import socket

s = [Link](socket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_STREAM)
[Link](("[Link]", 80))
[Link](b"GET / HTTP/1.1\r\nHost: [Link]\r\n\r\n")
print([Link](1024))
[Link]()

Hashlib Example

import hashlib

password = "mypassword"
hashed = hashlib.sha256([Link]()).hexdigest()
print("SHA256 Hash:", hashed)

Cryptography Example

from [Link] import Fernet

key = Fernet.generate_key()
cipher = Fernet(key)

message = b"Hello, Sudais!"


encrypted = [Link](message)
decrypted = [Link](encrypted)

print("Key:", key)
print("Encrypted:", encrypted)
print("Decrypted:", decrypted)
