The existing Windows-Comman-Script has been enhanced so it now waits until the Router-VM is up got an IP-Address assigned using DHCP. For Demonstration-Purposes an SSH-Connection will be established. The public-key of my laptop-ssh-client is part of the slipstreamed Router-Configuration. Deploy a Router-VM with hostname „CSY“. Establish an SSH-Connection to the discovered Router-IP: Have a look to the startup-config used: This is the „CMD“-Script used:Read More →

The following version adds a „-c“ option: „Connected IP-Address“-Check. the script exits, when the Router-VM is up and running and has an usable IP-Address The Script still checks all CDP-Packets received at the specified Interface: If the Sender has the correct „Hostname“ it reads the CDP-Management-IP-Address announced. This IP-Address has to be within the IP-Range of any connected IP-Network at the specified Interface. So it’ll be possible to establish a SSH-Session to the router-VM.Read More →

You got the task to generate a list of IP-Networks connected to LAN „VirtualBox Host-Only Network“. There might be more than one IP-Network. Use Scapy to crawl through all Interfaces and get the human-readable interface name [only required for windows users]. Use NetIfaces to get a list of IP-Addresses connected to this interface. Use IPAddress to calculate the IP-Network(s) directly connected. In my case, only one subnet is directly connected: 192.168.56.0/24Read More →

It’s hard to believe, how easy it is to capture (and to craft) LAN-Data using Python Scapy. I need to capture CDP-Packets and to extract information like the hostname of the sender and it’s IP-Address. As an modification of the „ARP-Monitor“-example taken from the manual Using scapy in your tools. Scapy Installation nothing special: pip install Python: Install Scapy Example: List all Interfaces of my Laptop Capture 10 Packets on a specific interface Capture CDP-Packets Decode CDP (with inactive dissector) Activate the CDP-Parser Capture again and display CDP-Information as cleartext Decode CDP-Hostname Decode CDP-Management-IP-AddressRead More →

How often had i to look up this in the web, always wondering about myself still using the Windows-CMD-shell… Should move on to powershell… store the output of another command in a variable Example: the „date“-command Copy the date into the variable „TTT“ Not elegant, not intuitive, not self-explanatory: This Shell Scripting language seems not to be made for daily usage 😉Read More →
