IP Obfuscator – Simple Tool to Social Engineer and Bypass Firewall

IP Obfuscator is a simple python script which converts an IP address into different obfuscated forms like integer, hexadecimal or into an octal form.

What is Obfuscation?

Obfuscation is a technique used by attackers to mask the malicious scripts between the legitimate source to bypass the detection engines, which makes it harder to analyze.

An example to make this simpler:
A normal IP address “172.217.24.174” can be obfuscated as an IPV6 address “0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:ffff:172.217.24.174”
This IPV6 format would be difficult to inspect with.

Installation:

Download the python file:
git clone https://github.com/Sameera-Madhushan/IP-Obfuscator.py

After downloading the program,  navigate to the Digger directory and list the contents
cd IP-Obfuscator && ls

You are ready to run the script now!
python3 IP-Obfuscator.py

Usage:

Example of how an IP address >>192.168.1.1 can be obfuscated into different forms:
