Overview of this book

This book gives you the skills you need to use Python for penetration testing (pentesting), with the help of detailed code examples. We start by exploring the basics of networking with Python and then proceed to network hacking. Then, you will delve into exploring Python libraries to perform various types of pentesting and ethical hacking techniques. Next, we delve into hacking the application layer, where we start by gathering information from a website. We then move on to concepts related to website hacking—such as parameter tampering, DDoS, XSS, and SQL injection. By reading this book, you will learn different techniques and methodologies that will familiarize you with Python pentesting techniques, how to protect yourself, and how to create automated programs to find the admin console, SQL injection, and XSS attacks.

Languages such as PHP and ASP.NET use server-side validation, taking the input parameter and matching it with the database of the server.

In client-side validation, the validation is done at the client side. JavaScript is used for client-side validation. A quick response and easy implementation make client-side validation beneficial, to some extent. However, the frequent use of client-side validation gives attackers an easy way...
