Python Network Packet Sniffer Tutorial - 1 - Introduction

[indrabustami]

Hi, Bucky ... I love your tutorials. You make learning programming become so easy. Awesome, really! Currently I'm learning Kivy (Python). Not many video tutorials about it, but this Kivy has good potential to create mobile applications (Android, iOS, Raspberry Pi). I hope you make a video tutorial about Kivy. May success follow you always :)

From a high-level perspective what Bucky is doing in these tutorial series is:
1) Find some way to capture the ethernet(protocol) frames destined to our computer in our program.
(Using Sockets)
2) Unpack the frame using the protocol information - using 'helper functions'.
3) Unpack the payload inside the frame using the protocol information.
4) Keep doing this until we get to the top layer protocol.

Amazing playlist ! loved all these videos.! it helped alot. Thank you so much

[tarimislam]

I love your tutorials so much. You give us a clear concept of programming with a real-life demonstration. I have a request, can you make a tutorial based on Python for Networking. Thank You

[Genologic]

Your example is exactly why i’m here 😂

@Thenewboston where did you learn programming? And I love your vids keep going!

I know you said to ignore sync, but if it is taking 8 bytes so why when asking for [:14] it shouldn't be [8:22] ? or something like that...

[thedarkside]

wtf is there anything that u havent programmed yet ?

@Thenewboston, thank you, I couldn't find tutorials anywhere else, I'm a white hat hacker but I really enjoy programming black hat hacker stuff, and things like hacking someone with permission, but I usually can't because no one wanna do a tutorial, thanks, you helped a guy to have some fun

Http is a packet protocol, what about the stream protocols like TCP?

[arisrahmanudin]

thanks it's help me a lot, I can implement this in C.

[thetruekingofwaffles]

So the payload is everything after except 4 bytes essentially

[bento]

What do I put for my dest if I dont have mac me not know

[ashishranjan]

which software is he using?? I mean, the platform where he is writing the codes??

[manish_algomuse]

What is difference between Ethernet packets and pcap file, can we fetch same kind of data from both? I want to fetch same data from pacp file, please help me out.
