Scapy book pdf

The result is an awful syntax to describe a packet. As an example, only the IP address must be given to a port scanner to trigger the port scanning scenario. Even if the scenario is tweaked a bit, you still are stuck to a port scan. Scapy enables the user to describe a packet or set of packets as layers that are stacked one upon another.

Fields of each layer have useful default values that can be overloaded. Scapy does not oblige the user to use predetermined methods or templates. This alleviates the requirement of writing a new tool each time a different scenario is required.

In C, it may take an average of 60 lines to describe a packet. With Scapy, the packets to be sent may be described in only a single line with another line to print the result. Network discovery is blackbox testing. When probing a network, many stimuli are sent while only a few of them are answered. If the right stimuli are chosen, the desired information may be obtained by the responses or the lack of responses.

Unlike many tools, Scapy gives all the information, i. Examination of this data will give the user the desired information. When the dataset is small, the user can just dig for it. In other cases, the interpretation of the data will depend on the point of view taken.

Most tools choose the viewpoint and discard all the data not related to that point of view. Because Scapy gives the complete raw data, that data may be used many times allowing the viewpoint to evolve during analysis. For example, a TCP port scan may be probed and the data visualized as the result of the port scan. The data could then also be visualized with respect to the TTL of response packet.

A new probe need not be initiated to adjust the viewpoint of the data. What are the uses of a port scan for a hacker? Question: Why are ARP pings arping useful to a network administrator?

Task 3 Scanning — Trace routing 3. The simplest way is to use the traceroute function as shown here, where dip is the destination address of the other virtual machine: traceroute dip This will list a complete TCP trace route for the IP address given. What are the malicious uses of a trace route? In order to simulate this connection, first run a sniff command on the 2nd Virtual Machine so that the traffic can be analysed after the 3 way handshake.

Question: What is the purpose of the 3-way TCP handshake? What does the TCP handshake provide as a benefit over this other protocol? Open navigation menu. Close suggestions Search Search.
