I've been working on this for 2 days now and managed to get this script with a pcapng file attached to send but I cannot seem to make the message body appear in the email.
import smtplib
import base64
import ConfigParser
#from email.MIMEapplication import MIMEApplication
#from email.MIMEmultipart import MIMEMultipart
#from email.MIMEtext import MIMEText
#from email.utils import COMMASPACE, formatdate
Config = ConfigParser.ConfigParser()
Config.read('mailsend.ini')
filename = "test.pcapng"
fo = open(filename, "rb")
filecontent = fo.read()
encoded_content = base64.b64encode(filecontent) # base 64
sender = 'notareal@email.com' # raw_input("Sender: ")
receiver = 'someother@fakeemail.com' # raw_input("Recipient: ")
marker = raw_input("Please input a unique set of numbers that will not be found elsewhere in the message, ie- roll face: ")
body ="""
This is a test email to send an attachment.
"""
# Define the main headers
header = """ From: From Person <notareal@email.com>
To: To Person <someother@fakeemail.com>
Subject: Sending Attachment
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: multipart/mixed; boundary=%s
--%s
""" % (marker, marker)
# Define message action
message_action = """Content-Type: text/plain
Content-Transfer-Encoding:8bit
%s
--%s
""" % (body, marker)
# Define the attachment section
message_attachment = """Content-Type: multipart/mixed; name=\"%s\"
Content-Transfer-Encoding:base64
Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=%s
%s
--%s--
""" % (filename, filename, encoded_content, marker)
message = header + message_action + message_attachment
try:
smtpObj = smtplib.SMTP('smtp.gmail.com')
smtpObj.sendmail(sender, receiver, message)
print "Successfully sent email!"
except Exception:
print "Error: unable to send email"
My goal is to ultimately have this script send an email after reading the parameters from a config file and attach a pcapng file along with some other text data describing the wireshark event. The email is not showing the body of the message when sent. The pcapng file is just a test file full of fake ips and subnets for now. Where have I gone wrong with the message body?
def mail_man():
if ms == 'Y' or ms == 'y' and ms_maxattach <= int(smtp.esmtp_features['size']):
fromaddr = [ms_from]
toaddr = [ms_sendto]
cc = [ms_cc]
bcc = [ms_bcc]
msg = MIMEMultipart()
body = "\nYou're captured event is attached. \nThis is an automated email generated by Dumpcap.py"
msg.attach("From: %s\r\n" % fromaddr
+ "To: %s\r\n" % toaddr
+ "CC: %s\r\n" % ",".join(cc)
+ "Subject: %s\r\n" % ms_subject
+ "X-Priority = %s\r\n" % ms_importance
+ "\r\n"
+ "%s\r\n" % body
+ "%s\r\n" % ms_pm)
toaddrs = [toaddr] + cc + bcc
msg.attach(MIMEText(body, 'plain'))
filename = "dcdflts.cong"
attachment = open(filename, "rb")
if ms_attach == 'y' or ms_attach == "Y":
part = MIMEBase('application', 'octet-stream')
part.set_payload(attachment.read())
encoders.encode_base64(part)
part.add_header('Content-Disposition', "attachment; filename= %s" % filename)
msg.attach(part)
server = smtplib.SMTP(ms_smtp_server[ms_smtp_port])
server.starttls()
server.login(fromaddr, "YOURPASSWORD")
text = msg.as_string()
server.sendmail(fromaddr, toaddrs, text)
server.quit()
This is my second attempt, all "ms_..." variables are global through a larger program.
Figured it out, with added ConfigParser. This is fully functional with a .ini file
