Book Description
Explore the world of practical ethical hacking by developing custom network scanning and remote access tools that will help you test the system security of your organizationKey Features
Get hands-on with ethical hacking and learn to think like a real-life hacker
Build practical ethical hacking tools from scratch with the help of real-world examples
Leverage Python 3 to develop malware and modify its complexities
Book Description
Penetration testing enables you to evaluate the security or strength of a computer system, network, or web application that an attacker can exploit. With this book, you’ll understand why Python is one of the fastest-growing programming languages for penetration testing. You’ll find out how to harness the power of Python and pentesting to enhance your system security.
Developers working with Python will be able to put their knowledge and experience to work with this practical guide. Complete with step-by-step explanations of essential concepts and practical examples, this book takes a hands-on approach to help you build your own pentesting tools for testing the security level of systems and networks. You’ll learn how to develop your own ethical hacking tools using Python and explore hacking techniques to exploit vulnerabilities in networks and systems. Finally, you’ll be able to get remote access to target systems and networks using the tools you develop and modify as per your own requirements.
By the end of this ethical hacking book, you’ll have developed the skills needed for building cybersecurity tools and learned how to secure your systems by thinking like a hacker.What you will learn
Understand the core concepts of ethical hacking
Develop custom hacking tools from scratch to be used for ethical hacking purposes
Discover ways to test the cybersecurity of an organization by bypassing protection schemes
Develop attack vectors used in real cybersecurity tests
Test the system security of an organization or subject by identifyi
ng and exploiting its weaknesses
Gain and maintain remote access to target systems
Find ways to stay undetected on target systems and local networks
Who this book is for
If you want to learn ethical hacking by developing your own tools instead of just using the prebuilt tools, this book is for you. A solid understanding of fundamental Python concepts is expected. Some complex Python concepts are explained in the book, but the goal is to teach ethical hacking, not Python.
