Python is a multi-paradigm programming language well suited to both object-oriented application development as well as functional design patterns. Because of the power and flexibility offered by it, Python has become one of the most popular languages used for penetration testing.\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThis book highlights how you can evaluate an organization methodically and realistically. Specific tradecraft and techniques are covered that show you exactly when and where industry tools can and should be used and when Python fits a need that proprietary and open source solutions do not.\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eInitial methodology, and Python fundamentals are established and then built on. Specific examples are created with vulnerable system images, which are available to the community to test scripts, techniques, and exploits. This book walks you through real-world penetration testing challenges and how Python can help.\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eFrom start to finish, the book takes you through how to create Python scripts that meet relative needs that can be adapted to particular situations. As chapters progress, the script examples explain new concepts to enhance your foundational knowledge, culminating with you being able to build multi-threaded security tools, link security tools together, automate reports, create custom exploits, and expand Metasploit modules.\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eStyle and approach\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThis book is a practical guide that will help you become better penetration testers and\/or Python security tool developers.
