Python Penetration Testing Essentials - Second Edition

By: Mohit Raj

Overview of this book

This book gives you the skills you need to use Python for penetration testing (pentesting), with the help of detailed code examples. We start by exploring the basics of networking with Python and then proceed to network hacking. Then, you will delve into exploring Python libraries to perform various types of pentesting and ethical hacking techniques. Next, we delve into hacking the application layer, where we start by gathering information from a website. We then move on to concepts related to website hacking—such as parameter tampering, DDoS, XSS, and SQL injection. By reading this book, you will learn different techniques and methodologies that will familiarize you with Python pentesting techniques, how to protect yourself, and how to create automated programs to find the admin console, SQL injection, and XSS attacks.

Gateway disassociation by RAW socket

In this attack, the victim will remain connected to the gateway but will not be able to communicate with the outer network. Put simply, the victim will remain connected to the router but will not be able to browse the internet. The principle of this attack is the same as ARP cache poisoning. The attack will send the ARP reply packet to the victim and that packet will change the MAC address of the gateway in the ARP cache of the victim with another MAC. The same thing is done in the gateway.

The code is the same as that of ARP spoofing, except for some changes, which are explained as follows:

import socket
import struct
import binascii
s = socket.socket(socket.PF_PACKET, socket.SOCK_RAW, socket.ntohs(0x0800))
s.bind(("eth0",socket.htons(0x0800)))
