Key benefits

  • Discover security techniques to protect your network and systems using Python
  • Create scripts in Python to automate security and pentesting tasks
  • Analyze traffic in a network and extract information using Python

Description

Python’s latest updates add numerous libraries that can be used to perform critical security-related missions, including detecting vulnerabilities in web applications, taking care of attacks, and helping to build secure and robust networks that are resilient to them. This fully updated third edition will show you how to make the most of them and improve your security posture. The first part of this book will walk you through Python scripts and libraries that you’ll use throughout the book. Next, you’ll dive deep into the core networking tasks where you will learn how to check a network’s vulnerability using Python security scripting and understand how to check for vulnerabilities in your network – including tasks related to packet sniffing. You’ll also learn how to achieve endpoint protection by leveraging Python packages along with writing forensics scripts. The next part of the book will show you a variety of modern techniques, libraries, and frameworks from the Python ecosystem that will help you extract data from servers and analyze the security in web applications. You’ll take your first steps in extracting data from a domain using OSINT tools and using Python tools to perform forensics tasks. By the end of this book, you will be able to make the most of Python to test the security of your network and applications.

Who is this book for?

This Python book is for network engineers, system administrators, and other security professionals looking to overcome common networking and security issues using Python. You will also find this book useful if you're an experienced programmer looking to explore Python’s full range of capabilities. A basic understanding of general programming structures as well as familiarity with the Python programming language is a prerequisite.

Security & Networking is a versatile topic in the Cyber Security area, the author spent a good amount of time putting content together to fit various skill levels.Covered all the aspects in the networking and security field (Web Security, Malware, Network Protocols, etc) with a major focus on vulnerabilities by considering multiple frameworks. There is depth in every section of this book.Code snippets, particle exercises help individuals learn and implement effective security strategies with the various tools exhibited in the book. At the same time content provided in this book is up-to-date with useful technicians to handle security vulnerabilities by using emerging tools as of today.Personally I like these 2 sections - Section 3 (Server Scripting and Port Scanning with Python) & Section 4 ( Server Vulnerabilities and Security in Web Applications) . I can see Authors' research and practical experience in this field.

I really enjoyed reading this book:Chapter five provides a comprehensive overview of packet-crafting and sniffing using Python modules such as pcapy-ng and scapy. It emphasizes the importance of having access to raw packet output and basic packet topology for effective security assessments and decision-making. Scapy's versatility is highlighted, as it allows for the creation of networking tools without building packets from scratch.In Chapter 10, the focus shifts to the analysis of vulnerabilities in web applications, which is currently a critical area for security audits. The chapter introduces various Python tools in the ecosystem that help identify server vulnerabilities in web applications, with particular attention given to sqlmap. XSS and SQL injection vulnerabilities are thoroughly examined, and several tools, including sqlmap and Nmap scripts, are discussed for detecting such vulnerabilities. The chapter also explores tools like Oralyzer and Fuxploider for vulnerability detection in web applications.Throughout the chapter, I learned about the primary vulnerabilities that can be found in websites and how Python scripts and automated tools can be employed to detect them. Additionally, the chapter sheds light on the detection of configuration errors on servers that can compromise website security and be exploited by attackers.These chapters provide valuable insights into packet analysis, web application vulnerability detection, and information retrieval related to vulnerabilities. In addition to providing theoretical explanations, practical examples, and the use of Python tools, this book provides a comprehensive and informative resource for security professionals and enthusiasts alike.
