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

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 intensive automation and innovation, and Python is at the forefront. 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 starts by taking you through advanced Python programming constructs. Once you are familiar with the core concepts, you'll explore 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 get up to speed with exploit development, reverse engineering, and cybersecurity use cases that can be automated with Python.

By the end of this book, you'll have the skills you need to leverage Python for pentesting and securing infrastructure, while also creating your own custom exploits.
