Installing Packages

modules can be found in PyPi.

We can install modules directly using pip:

apt install python3-pip
pip3 install $PACKAGE_NAME

The package is automatically placed in /usr/local/$python-version/dist-packages.

To verify the location:

pip3 show $PACKAGE_NAME

To manually install a package:

wget $PACKAGE_URL
python3 setup.py install

Running Python Scripts​

Create script:

# test.py

#!/usr/bin/python3

...

Give execution permissions:

chmod u+x test.py

Run script:

./test.py

Opening Connections​

# banner_grab.py
#!/usr/bin/python3

import socket

s = socket.socket()
s.connect(("192.168.1.1", 22))
answer = s.recv(1024)

print(answer)

s.close()

Listening for Connections​

# tcp_server.py

#!/usr/bin/python3

import socket

TCP_IP = "192.168.181.191"
TCP_PORT = 6996
BUFFER_SIZE=100

s = socket.socket(socket.AF_NET, socket.SOCK_STREAM)
s.bind((TCP_IP, TCP_PORT))
s.listen(1)

conn, addr = s.accept() 

print ('Connection address: ', addr ) 

while 1: 
 data=conn.recv(BUFFER_SIZE) 
    if not data: break 
    print ("Received data: ", data)
     conn.send(data) #echo 

conn.close
