This book is a practical guide that shows you the advantages of using Python for pen-testing, with the help of detailed code examples. This book starts by exploring the basics of networking with Python and then proceeds to network and wireless pen-testing, including information gathering and attacking. You will learn how to build honeypot traps. Later on, we delve into hacking the application layer, where we start by gathering information from a website, and then eventually move on to concepts related to website hacking, such as parameter tampering, DDOS, XSS, and SQL injection.
Who this book is for: If you are a Python programmer, a security researcher, or a network admin who has basic knowledge of Python programming and want to learn about penetration testing with the help of Python, this book is ideal for you. Even if you are new to the field of ethical hacking, this book can help you find the vulnerabilities in your system so that you are ready to tackle any kind of attack or intrusion.
