Simple Python Script To Create A WebServer

-

In this post, you will learn to create a web server just by executing a simple python script which is below.

##################### START OF SCRIPT #########################
import sys
import getopt
import BaseHTTPServer
from SimpleHTTPServer import SimpleHTTPRequestHandler

def start(argv):
    HandlerClass = SimpleHTTPRequestHandler
    ServerClass = BaseHTTPServer.HTTPServer
    Protocol = "HTTP/1.0"

    if sys.argv[1:]:
        try:
            opts, args = getopt.getopt(argv, "hp:", ["port="])
        except getopt.GetoptError:
            print "Error Try Again"
            sys.exit()

        for opt, arg in opts:
            if opt in ("-p", "--port"):
                port = int(arg)

        server_addr = ("127.0.0.1", port)
        HandlerClass.protocol_version = Protocol
        httpd = ServerClass(server_addr, HandlerClass)

        socket = httpd.socket.getsockname()
        print "HTTP Server running on http://%s:%s/" % (socket[0], socket[1])
        httpd.serve_forever()
    else:
        print "usage:\t$ python http.py -p 8888 \n\t$ python http.py --port 8888"

if __name__ == "__main__":
    start(sys.argv[1:])

Python has a built-in Http WebServer. This feature of python can be used to create a small web server within your local network for performing web server related small operations. The Advantage of pythons built-in Http WebServer is that you don't have to install and configure anything. The only thing you need, is to have Python installed. After running the script the terminal will update as the data is loaded from the web server. You can see standard HTTP GET, POST requests, error messages, IP address, date and time and every thing that you would expect from any other web server to display on the terminal as below.

Crack Gmail and LinkedIn Account Using Brute Force Attack With Simple Python Script

Hello Friends, I have written a simple python script with which you can crack Gmail or LinkedIn account by simpling performing Brute Force Attack In cryptography, a brute-force attack consists of an attacker trying many passwords or passphrases with the hope of eventually guessing correctly. The attacker systematically checks all possible passwords and passphrases until the correct one is found. Alternatively, the attacker can attempt to guess the key which is typically created from the password using a key derivation function. This is known as an exhaustive key search. When password guessing, this method is very fast when used to check all short passwords, but for longer passwords other methods such as the dictionary attack are used because a brute-force search takes too long. Longer passwords, passphrases and keys have more possible values, making them exponentially more difficult to crack than shorter ones. Software that performs brute-force attacks Aircrack-ng ...
