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.

Keyloggers


A keylogger is a software or hardware device that logs or records keystrokes in real time. They are used to troubleshoot technical problems with computers and networks. They could also be used to monitor the network and computer usage of people without their direct knowledge. So, this can also be misused on public computers to steal passwords or credit card information.

Hardware keyloggers

Hardware-based keyloggers can monitor victims' activities without any software being installed. They can be easily detected since, is a physical device that may be connected somewhere between the computer keyboard and the USB/PS2 port. There are more advanced hardware keyloggers that are not externally visible and are not dependent on any software. So, they cannot be detected by any software. But, a hardware keylogger requires physical access to the victim.

In the case of wireless keyboards, it is possible to intercept the signals sent from the keyboard to its receiver with a wireless sniffer.
