Cryptohack - Network Attacks [5 pts]

The Solution is shared considering CAN I SHARE MY SOLUTIONS? Problem Several of the challenges are dynamic and require you to talk to our challenge servers over the network. This allows you to perform man-in-the-middle attacks on people trying to communicate, or directly attack a vulnerable service. To keep things consistent, our interactive servers always send and receive JSON objects. Python makes such network communication easy with the telnetlib module. Conveniently, it’s part of Python’s standard library, so let’s use it for now. ...
