PYTHON IBD

Sinopsis

Unleash the power of Python scripting to execute effective and efficient penetration testsKey FeaturesSharpen your pentesting skills with PythonDevelop your fluency with Python to write sharper scripts for rigorous security testingGet stuck into some of the most powerful tools in the security worldBook DescriptionCybercriminals are always one step ahead, when it comes to tools and techniques. This means you need to use the same tools and adopt the same mindset to properly secure your software. This course shows you how to do just that, demonstrating how effective Python can be for powerful pentesting that keeps your software safe. Comprising of three key modules, follow each one to push your Python and security skills to the next level.In the first module, we?ll show you how to get to grips with the fundamentals. This means you?ll quickly find out how to tackle some of the common challenges facing pentesters using custom Python tools designed specifically for your needs. You?ll also learn what tools to use and when, giving you complete confidence when deploying your pentester tools to combat any potential threat.In the next module you?ll begin hacking into the application layer. Covering everything from parameter tampering, DDoS, XXS and SQL injection, it will build on the knowledge and skills you learned in the first module to make you an even more fluent security expert.Finally in the third module, you?ll find more than 60 Python pentesting recipes. We think this will soon become your trusted resource for any pentesting situation.This Learning Path combines some of the best that Packt has to offer in one complete, curated package.
