# Netbyte
[](https://twitter.com/sc0tfree)
Netbyte is a Netcat-style tool that facilitates probing proprietary TCP and UDP services.
It is lightweight, fully interactive and provides formatted output in both hexadecimal and ASCII.
## Why
When testing proprietary or custom-written services on pentests, I’ve frequently been disappointed while trying to reverse engineer
these protocols.
In the past, this has been done using netcat with wireshark and/or hexdump.
However, due to truncation issues with using hexdump (i.e.: `nc domain.com 1234 | hexdump -C`)
and wireshark’s tedious process, I decided to create Netbyte as quick and easy alternative when opening unknown ports.
## Install
Clone the git:
```
git clone https://github.com/sc0tfree/netbyte.git
```
Enter the directory:
```
cd netbyte
```
Run setup.py script with 'install':
```
python setup.py install
```
## Usage
```
$ netbyte example.com 12345
������!��'

You can also pipe input into netbyte:
```
$ echo "GET /" | netbyte test.com 80

## Test Server
I have included a test server to better view the functionality of netbyte. The server has two tests:
* Echo Test - echo back a user entered string
* Hex Test - send a random hexadecimal string of user-specified size
To run the test server:
```
$ python testserver.py
```
In another terminal, connect to the test server using netbyte:
```
$ netbyte localhost 12345
```
## Modifying Output Colors
To modify the color scheme, change the functions `print_ascii` and `print_hex` inside the netbyte package.
See the [colorama page](https://pypi.python.org/pypi/colorama) for color options.
## License and Contributions

Questions, comments and suggestions are always welcomed!
## Future Work
* Ability to enter input sent as hex
* Listen option to interact with custom-built clients
* Proper unit tests
