[packt] Hands-On Penetration Testing with Python

[Bl4ckCyb3rEnigm4]

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.
What you will learn:
-Get to grips with custom vulnerability scanner development
-Learn web application scanning automation and exploit development
-Discover everyday cybersecurity scenarios that can be automated with Python
-Explore enterprise or organization-specific use cases and threat-hunting automation
-Understand reverse engineering, fuzzing, buffer overflows , key-logger development, and exploit development for buffer overflows
-Study web scraping in Python and use it for processing web responses
-Explore security operations center (SOC) use cases
