Cybersecurity Beginner Python Projects

A collection of beginner-friendly cybersecurity projects written in Python. These projects help learners understand key security concepts like encryption, password security, brute-force attacks, packet sniffing, and log analysis.

📂Project Categories

Encryption & Hashing

• [Caesar Cipher] – Encrypts and decrypts messages using the Caesar cipher.
• [Hashing Using SHA-256] – Demonstrates secure hashing technique.
• [Password Strength Checker] – Evaluates password complexity.

Network Security

• [Packet Sniffer] – Captures network packets for analysis.
• [Simple Port Scanner] – Scans open ports.
• [Wordlist Generator] – Generates wordlists for security testing.

Authentication Security

• [Brute Force Attack Simulator] – Simulates password brute-force attacks.
• [Password Checker] – Checks password strength and breaches.
• [Simple Keylogger] – Logs keystrokes (for ethical research).

Log Analysis & Detection

• [Log Analysis] – Parses system logs for security monitoring.
• [File Integrity Checker] – Detects unauthorized file changes.

Threat Detection

• [Email Spoof Detector] – Parses and detects spoofing across multiple email headers in a single file.
