Hello everyone, and welcome to Network Activity and Packet Analysis with Python.
My name is Sean Wilkins,
and this is the Performing Connection Hijacking with Scapy module.
I'd like to welcome you to this module where we will pick up from
where we left off in the Detecting Brute Force Attacks with Scapy
module and talk about how Python and Scapy can be used to hijack a
connection in process.
Just like the other tasks that have been covered in this course,
the ability to write a utility that can block active
connections can be an important skill to have,
and this module shows an example of one way it can be done.
Understand that from the perspective of a
Globomantics network security engineer,
each of these different skills can be very important to ensuring the
devices under your control stay as secure as possible.
To show an example of connection hijacking,
this module is composed of two different sections.
The first brief section sets up the conditions for the second
section where we show a connection hijacking utility in use on
a live demonstration environment.
So now, with all this out of the way, let's get started.
