Programming Security Tools with Python and Scapy - Assignment Requirements

Learning Outcomes

In ICT1010 Computer Networks you’ve learned about socket programming which allows you to write network applications to send and receive network packets, but does not allow you to manipulate the values in the protocol headers.

Programming security tools is like writing network applications to send and receive network packets. The key difference is that you need to be able to manipulate then values in the protocol headers!

Learning Outcomes

Upon completion of this assignment, you should be able to:

Program a security tool using Python with Scapy based on the theory learned

3. Requirements

You may write a security tool in any one of the followings:

You are likely to be using more than one security tool for your Assignment 1A. Program ONE security tool of your choice for your Assignment 1A instead of
using all the existing tools.
