[SOLVED] How to convert python HEX ouput to ASCII?

How to convert python HEX ouput to ASCII?

I'd like to convert HEX output in python to ASCII when i'm using LiveCapture from pyshark.

My code:

capture = pyshark.LiveCapture(interface='en1',
                              bpf_filter='tcp port 5555 and len > 66',)

colored.OK("Interface bindée sur %s" % socket.gethostbyname(socket.gethostname()))

for packet in capture.sniff_continuously():
   if packet.ip.src == socket.gethostbyname(socket.gethostname()):
            colored.OK("Send packets")
   else:
            colored.OK("Receive packets")
            print(''.join(packet.data.data.split(":")))
            print("")

Output for receive packets:

66787874798582124495051

I'd like to convert this output to ASCII char directly in the python output Is it possible?

Thanks

Solution

Yes, you can convert it directly.

def convert_HEX_to_ASCII(h):
chars_in_reverse = []
while h != 0x0:
    chars_in_reverse.append(chr(h & 0xFF))
    h = h >> 8

chars_in_reverse.reverse()
return ''.join(chars_in_reverse)

print (convert_HEX_to_ASCII(0x6176656e67657273))
print (convert_HEX_to_ASCII(0x636f6e766572745f4845585f746f5f4153434949))

Refer link, which convert HEX to ASCII online. https://www.rapidtables.com/convert/number/ascii-to-hex.html You can verify the output manually and confirm the result.
