Skill Prerequisites:

• Basic Python programming skill (lists, dictionaries, functions, files etc).
• Knowledge of basic networking concepts. (Enough to know what an IP address, port number, OSI model etc.)

Overview & Objective:

In this workshop, we delve deep into Network programming with Python.
- We'll explore networking concepts, protocol details and translate these into practical network programming.
- We'll explore basic concepts, modules, and third-party libraries in Python to communicate over Internet protocols.
- We'll take a bottom-up approach i.e. we'll begin with using python socket API up until using high level third party libraries like Requests.
- Network code is one aspect where Python2.x & Python3.x differ vastly. We'll discuss the difference wherever applicable.

We'll work on:

• Scripts to communicate over HTTP, DNS, FTP, NTP, SSH and Telnet.
• Writing simple web scrapers.
• Automating various system administration tasks. (Managing SSH sessions, querying web services etc)
• Managing Network data and handling network errors.

The session will conclude with a mini-CTF.

What you need to bring:

• Laptop with administrator access (mandatory).
• Minimum 2 GB RAM and 10 GB free hard disk space.
• Oracle Virtualbox installed (VMPlayer or VMWorkstation participants will be on their own)
• Preferably, bring your own Internet connectivity.
