- Yes, Python is an open source language in the truest sense. The difference between Python and other open source languages is we can literally see the source code of every Python module and even modify it on the fly.
- The Python programming language is managed by the Python Software Foundation whose objective is to promote, protect, and advance the Python programming language.
- No, Java is a faster language.
- Python is an object-oriented language.
- Yes, Python is very easy to learn because of its simplicity.
- Python plays amazingly well in the cyber security space. Most offensive and defensive tools are written in Python. Most exploits are written in Python. Most of the fuzzes are written in Python. Python is a wonderful asset to have in your arsenal, if you are working in the cyber security space.
- Times and technologies are changing and rapidly evolving...

Overview of this book
With the current technological and infrastructural shift, penetration testing is no longer a process-oriented activity. Modern-day penetration testing demands lots of automation and innovation; the only language that dominates all its peers is Python. Given the huge number of tools written in Python, and its popularity in the penetration testing space, this language has always been the first choice for penetration testers.
Hands-On Penetration Testing with Python walks you through advanced Python programming constructs. Once you are familiar with the core concepts, you’ll explore the advanced uses of Python in the domain of penetration testing and optimization. You’ll then move on to understanding how Python, data science, and the cybersecurity ecosystem communicate with one another. In the concluding chapters, you’ll study exploit development, reverse engineering, and cybersecurity use cases that can be automated with Python.
By the end of this book, you’ll have acquired adequate skills to leverage Python as a helpful tool to pentest and secure infrastructure, while also creating your own custom exploits.
