We have discussed the basic possibilities of attack scripting. Now you can create custom scripts according to your needs. In this chapter we have used mechanize for the scripting. We can also use any other modules we have discussed in the previous chapters to achieve the requirements. We will discuss more on fuzzing and brute-forcing attacks in the next chapter.

Overview of this book
Penetration testing is a practice of testing a computer system, network, or web application to find weaknesses in security that an attacker can exploit. Effective Python Penetration Testing will help you utilize your Python scripting skills to safeguard your networks from cyberattacks.
We will begin by providing you with an overview of Python scripting and penetration testing. You will learn to analyze network traffic by writing Scapy scripts and will see how to fingerprint web applications with Python libraries such as ProxMon and Spynner.
Moving on, you will find out how to write basic attack scripts, and will develop debugging and reverse engineering skills with Python libraries. Toward the end of the book, you will discover how to utilize cryptography toolkits in Python and how to automate Python tools and libraries.
