Hands-On Penetration Testing with Python

Book Description

Hands-On Penetration Testing with Python: Enhance your ethical hacking skills to build automated and intelligent systems

Implement defensive techniques in your ecosystem successfully with Python

Key Features

• Identify and expose vulnerabilities in your infrastructure with Python
• Learn custom exploit development .
• Make robust and powerful cybersecurity tools with Python

Book Description

With the current technological and infrastructural shift, penetration testing is no longer a process-oriented activity. Modern-day penetration testing demands lots of automation and innovation; the only language that dominates all its peers is Python. Given the huge number of tools written in Python, and its popularity in the penetration testing space, this language has always been the first choice for penetration testers.

Hands-On Penetration Testing with Python walks you through advanced Python programming constructs. Once you are familiar with the core concepts, you’ll explore the advanced uses of Python in the domain of penetration testing and optimization. You’ll then move on to understanding how Python, data science, and the cybersecurity ecosystem communicate with one another. In the concluding chapters, you’ll study exploit development, reverse engineering, and cybersecurity use cases that can be automated with Python.

By the end of this book, you’ll have acquired adequate skills to leverage Python as a helpful tool to pentest and secure infrastructure, while also creating your own custom exploits.

What you will learn

• Get to grips with Custom vulnerability scanner development
• Familiarize yourself with web application scanning automation and exploit development
• Walk through day-to-day cybersecurity scenarios that can be automated with Python
