What’s going on guys?

I have a short encryption tutorial for you today, which is kind of a continuation from my recursive file encryption post a while back.

In that post we did encryption of multiple files recursively, while this time we’ll be doing in-memory AES encryption over the network.

This tutorial will be limited in scope in the sense that we’ll only send the data one way for now (from client to server); however, the plan is to incorporate it into my python control server series soon.

We’ll be using Python 3 for this tutorial (as one should by now). For the encryption side of things we’re using pyAesCrypt, which can be easily installed with pip by running the following command in a terminal:

python -m pip install pyaescrypt

In the video above, after going through the code and explanations, I also fire up wireshark and show the difference from both a plaintext server/client traffic to the encrypted data we’re implementing here.
