python script baseline and calibration using Wireshark

Free Python Response Time Script Baseline And Calibration Using Wireshark In this video you will see yet another example of baselining or calibrating an application reported results using Wireshark. I am far from being a ‘programmer’ but have been programming since my college days in all sort of programming languages. In the past 3 years, I have been moving away from Perl and getting more familiar with Python with no specific reason other than variety and for just my own personal education. I wrote this script (with some help from ChatGPT and some snippets I found online that will record the TCP and HTTP response time, along with the current date/time and write it to a CSV format file. I personally believe anyone in the technology space should be exposed to, and write the odd bit of code. It could be to automate a mundane task, performance measurements or anything you might need to accomplish that is specific to your environment.

Python script simply copy and paste the text between the ====== lines I called this script https_and_tcp_response time.py #pip install requests

import socket import ssl import time import requests from datetime import datetime

def measure_tcp_response_time(hostname, port): start_time = time.time() sock = socket.create_connection((hostname, port)) sock.close() end_time = time.time() return end_time - start_time

def measure_https_response_time(url): start_time = time.time() response = requests.get(url) end_time = time.time() return end_time - start_time

def main(url): hostname = url.split("//")[-1].split("/")[0] tcp_port = 443

tcp_response_time = measure_tcp_response_time(hostname, tcp_port)
https_response_time = measure_https_response_time(url)
current_time = datetime.now().strftime("%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S")

with open("response_times.txt", "a") as file:
    file.write(f"Time,TCP Response Time, HTTPS Response Time in seconds\n")
    file.write(f"{current_time},{tcp_response_time:.6f},{https_response_time:.6f}\n")
  

if name == "main": url = "https://www.thetechfirm.com" # Replace with your desired URL main(url) ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pWDUv9Ci1w0
