Python Penetration Testing Cookbook. Practical recipes on implementing information gathering, network security, intrusion detection, and post-exploitation

Penetration testing is the use of tools and code to attack a system in order to assess its vulnerabilities to external threats. Python allows pen testers to create their own tools.

• You will learn how to build an intrusion detection system using network sniffing techniques.

Since Python is a highly valued pen-testing language, there are many native libraries and Python bindings available specifically for pen-testing tasks.Python Penetration Testing Cookbook begins by teaching you how to extract information from web pages. Next, you will find out how to scan your networks to ensure performance and quality, and how to carry out wireless pen testing on your network to avoid cyber attacks.

• After that, we’ll discuss the different kinds of network attack.
• Next, you’ll get to grips with designing your own torrent detection program.

• Finally, you’ll master PE code injection methods to safeguard your network.

We’ll take you through common vulnerability scenarios and then cover buffer overflow exploitation so you can detect insecure coding.
