Python Penetration Testing Cookbook

Overview of this book

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. 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. You will learn how to build an intrusion detection system using network sniffing techniques. 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. We’ll take you through common vulnerability scenarios and then cover buffer overflow exploitation so you can detect insecure coding. Finally, you’ll master PE code injection methods to safeguard your network.

Setting up a Python environment in Linux

Let's go through the step by step process of setting up your Python environment on your Linux system. First, we can learn to install Python if it's not installed by default.

Getting ready

As we have many package managers in different flavors of Linux distributions such as apt/apt-get and dpkg. For Debian-based distributions such as Ubuntu, yum (Yellowdog) for CentOS/RHEL, and zypper and yast for SuSE Linux, these package managers will help us to install Python with ease in Linux distros. With this, you have to just issue a command and package managers will search for the required package and its dependencies, download the packages, and install them in your system.
