Extract links

#!/usr/bin/env python3

from bs4 import BeautifulSoup
import requests 

# requests.get downloads the webpage and stores it as a variable
html = requests.get('http://10.10.225.228:8000/')

# this parses the webpage into something that beautifulsoup can read over
soup = BeautifulSoup(html.text, "lxml")
# lxml is just the parser for reading the html 

# this is the line that grabs all the links # stores all the links in the links variable
links = soup.find_all('a') 
for link in links:  
    if "href" in link.attrs:
        print(link["href"])

#!/usr/bin/env python3

for api_key in range(1,100,2): #1, 3, 5, 7... 
    print(f"api_key {api_key}")
    html = requests.get(f'http://10.10.225.228:8000/api/{api_key}')
    print(html.text)

Base64

base64msg = "Hello world"
base64_bytes = base64msg.encode('ascii')
msg_bytes = base64.b64decode(base64_bytes)
realmsg = msg_bytes.decode('ascii')
