The python module pycryptodome - part 001.

The tutorial for today come with this subject: python module pycryptodome.
According to the official website:

PyCryptodome is a self-contained Python package of low-level cryptographic primitives.
It supports Python 2.4 or newer, all Python 3 versions and PyPy.

official website.
Also this python module can be used with Windows and Linux (Ubuntu and Fedora distro linux).
I don't see anything about Mac OS - Apple OS Mac_OS - wikipedia.
First step of this tutorial:

C:\Python27\Scripts>pip install pycryptodome
Collecting pycryptodome
Downloading pycryptodome-3.4-cp27-cp27m-win_amd64.whl (7.5MB)

Successfully installed pycryptodome-3.4

You need to have command.com shell admin rights or you got errors:

C:\Python27\Scripts>python -m Crypto.SelfTest
Access is denied.

You can test it the instalation with:

C:\Python27>python -m Crypto.SelfTest

OK

One simple test with this module:

C:\Python27>python.exe
Python 2.7.8 (default, Jun 30 2014, 16:08:48) [MSC v.1500 64 bit (AMD64)] on win32
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> from Crypto.Cipher import AES
>>> from Crypto.Random import get_random_bytes
>>>

Most of resurces and features can be found here also can have some example at Matthew Green.
I will come with another tutorial about this python module.
Have a great day.

Hide your info with stepic python module.

I will show a funny way to put your info into one image and then show this info.
First you need one image. I used this image:

First need to use Python 2.7 with Image ( Pillow python module) and stepic python module.
... and follow the below steps:

C:\Python27>cd Scripts
C:\Python27\Scripts>pip install Image
C:\Python27\Scripts>pip install stepic
C:\Python27\Scripts>cd ..

C:\Python27>python
Python 2.7.8 (default, Jun 30 2014, 16:08:48) [MSC v.1500 64 bit (AMD64)] on win32
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.

To encode and then to show the text from one image I used this python script:


import PIL
from PIL import Image
import stepic
im=Image.open("MonaLisa.jpg")
im1 = stepic.encode(im,'The smallest feline is a masterpiece.')
im1.save('test_encode.jpg','JPEG')
im.show()
im1.show()
decoding=stepic.decode(im1)
data_encode=decoding.decode()
print data_encode

The Python and antivirus Kaspersky antivirus.

The Kaspersky antivirus is very reserved versus python.

Even if the pip will try to install one module also any instance of numpy module has one replay over Kaspersky antivirus.

I try to start python shell and then import numpy after that I close the shell and I run it again. 
Update I try also help() / modules command under shell and more and randmon pyd file are blocked. This is strange because the pyd files are random.

See the result is how Kaspersky and python shell works together:

What do you think about that?
