Python: Penetration Testing for Developers

Unleash the power of Python scripting to execute effective and efficient penetration tests

About This Book

• Sharpen your pentesting skills with Python
• Develop your fluency with Python to write sharper scripts for rigorous security testing
• Get stuck into some of the most powerful tools in the security world

Who This Book Is For

If you are a Python programmer or a security researcher who has basic knowledge of Python programming and wants to learn about penetration testing with the help of Python, this course is ideal for you. Even if you are new to the field of ethical hacking, this course can help you find the vulnerabilities in your system so that you are ready to tackle any kind of attack or intrusion.

What You Will Learn

• Familiarize yourself with the generation of Metasploit resource files and use the Metasploit Remote Procedure Call to automate exploit generation and execution
• Exploit the Remote File Inclusion to gain administrative access to systems with Python and other scripting languages
• Crack an organization's Internet perimeter and chain exploits to gain deeper access to an organization's resources
• Explore wireless traffic with the help of various programs and perform wireless attacks with Python programs
• Gather passive information from a website using automated scripts and perform XSS, SQL injection, and parameter tampering attacks
• Develop complicated header-based attacks through Python

In Detail

Cybercriminals 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.

發揮Python腳本的力量，執行有效且高效的滲透測試

關於本書
- 透過Python提升滲透測試技能
- 透過Python提高腳本撰寫能力，進行嚴謹的安全測試
- 學習使用安全領域中最強大的工具

適合對象
- 如果你是一位Python程式設計師或安全研究人員，具備基本的Python程式設計知識，並希望透過Python學習滲透測試，這本書非常適合你。即使你對於道德駭客領域還不熟悉，這本書也能幫助你找出系統中的漏洞，讓你能夠應對各種攻擊或入侵。

你將學到什麼
- 熟悉Metasploit資源檔的生成，並使用Metasploit遠程過程調用自動化生成和執行攻擊
- 使用Python和其他腳本語言利用遠程文件包含漏洞獲得系統的管理權限
- 破解組織的網際網路邊界，並使用連鎖攻擊深入訪問組織的資源
- 使用各種程序探索無線流量，並使用Python程式進行無線攻擊
- 使用自動化腳本從網站收集被動信息，並進行XSS、SQL注入和參數篡改攻擊
- 通過Python開發複雜的基於標頭的攻擊

詳細內容
- 網絡犯罪分子總是比我們更先一步，無論是在工具還是技術方面。這意味著你需要使用相同的工具和思維方式來確保你的軟體安全。本書將向你展示如何做到這一點，演示Python在強大的滲透測試中的有效性，以確保你的軟體安全。本書由三個關鍵模組組成，按部就班地跟隨每個模組，將你的Python和安全技能推向更高的水平。

- 在第一個模組中，我們將向你展示如何掌握基礎知識。這意味著你將迅速了解如何應對滲透測試中常見的挑戰，使用專為你的需求而設計的自定義Python工具。你還將學習何時使用哪些工具，從而在部署滲透測試工具以應對任何潛在威脅時充滿信心。

- 在下一個模組中，你將開始入侵應用層。從參數篡改、DDoS、XXS和SQL注入等方面進行全面覆蓋，它將在第一個模組中學到的知識和技能的基礎上，使你成為更加熟練的安全專家。

- 最後，在第三個模組中，你將找到超過60個Python滲透測試的實例。我們相信這將很快成為你在任何滲透測試情境中的可靠資源。
