What is this?

This is a follow up session on the first Python_Workshop. More to come, watch this space.

Homework

Your home work is the following:

  • Build a TCP portscanner that scans a host given on the commandline on all 2^16 TCP ports and prints out all open ports on the given host
  • extension: instead of printing the port number, print the name of the service if it exists in /etc/services


Tips


Example session

This is what I would expect from the scanner:

$ python scan.py 192.168.1.1
open ports on 192.168.1.1
   22: ssh
   23: telnet
   80: http
 1863: msnp
 1864: paradym-31port
 4443: pharos
 5190: aol
 5431: park-agent
 5566: Unknown service

Nifty Tips&tricks

  • serves your local current working directory
python -m SimpleHTTPServer [port]
  • testing for values in dictionaries
>>> d = {}
>>> 1 in d
False
>>> d.get(1,"not found")
'not found'
>>> d[1] = "test"
>>> d.get(1,"not found")
'test'
>>> 1 in d
True
>>> 
  • string replacement, using a dictionary
>>> d = {'name':'pieter', 'age':32}
>>> print "%(name)s %(age)d" % d
pieter 32
>>>
  • specify the encoding of the python source file
 #!/usr/bin/env python
 # -*- coding: utf-8 -*-
  • play with sets - they are cool (union, intersection, etc)
  • you can use frozenset as index of a dictionary -- (sets are 'unhashable' -- the index value should be 'unchangeable')
 f = frozenset(set([0, 'blah', 'foo', 'bar']))
 d = { f:'some value'}
  • varargs :
def f(*arguments):
  print arguments

def g(**arguments):
  print arguments
  • list comprehension
 l = range(20)
 l2 = [ item for item in l if item %2==0]

or without lists (generator objects)

 l2 = ( item for item in l if item %2==0 )

parsing /etc/services

i found a nice online utility for creating regex wizardry http://txt2re.com/
