Building Python Scripts

This chapter will cover the core concepts of all programming languages. This includes conditional statements, loops, functions, and packages. We will see that these concepts are pretty much the same in Python as they are in other programming languages, except for some syntactical differences. But syntax just requires practice; everything else will fall into line automatically. The topics that we are going to cover in this chapter are as follows:

Conditional statements
Loops
Functions
Modules and packages
Comprehensions and generators

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.

Who is this book for?

If you are a security consultant , developer or a cyber security enthusiast with little or no knowledge of Python and want in-depth insight into how the pen-testing ecosystem and python combine to create offensive tools , exploits , automate cyber security use-cases and much more then this book is for you. Hands-On Penetration Testing with Python guides you through the advanced uses of Python for cybersecurity and pen-testing, helping you to better understand security loopholes within your infrastructure .

I loved reading this book, It covers multiple topics related to cyber security i.e Web pentest, exploit development, reverse engineering and last but not the least python based web vulnerability scanners. One can learn a lot from this book since every topic is written in simpler words which makes it easier even if you are a beginner in security. Also i would recommend to people who are at intermediate levels in cyber security.

I cannot recommend this book. The reasons why are numerous:1. There are more typos than you can shake a stick at. I know Packt is a low-end publishing company but this was ridiculous. It is almost as if whoever proofed the manuscript knew absolutely nothing about computer science. Really pathetic.2. In order to access the Python code in most of the book, you have to install Kali as a VM. Now I have been running Kali for a long time and am perfectly content with it. I cannot spare an additional server just to set up Kali VM on it. In order for me to test the source code, I thus have to either (1) type it in from the book's ugly fonts, or (2) persuade someone to send it to me. None of my emails to Packt were replied to and Khan's email address was no where to be found on the web.I am sorry that this has happened because the book is definitely leading edge. Everyone's loss here.
