Key benefits

  • 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

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.

Who is this book 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.

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 identifying and exploiting its weaknesses
  • Gain and maintain remote access to target systems
  • Find ways to stay undetected on target systems and local networks

This book is very beginner friendly. If you already know python and a re an absolute beginner then you will probably enjoy this book. It presents a very swift on-ramp to creating simple cyber tools in python and some of the projects are interesting. I personally found the man-in-the-middle section to be neat.I should note that this book oversimplifies several topics and mangles some cybersecurity terms to preserve its beginner friendly nature. It is completely missing any information related to initial access, they could have at least included a network based password attack. If you plan to enter the cybersecurity field this book is a fun starting point but you will have a long ways to go.

The content of the book is actually quite good. There is some very basic stuff, like installing Kali Linux and Python. But the coding is very interesting as it is really about programming network scanning and malware. However, the book does not dive very deep into these topics and the topics covered are not very broad as the book is just a bit more than 200 pages (with many screenshots). For me, the content is too little given the price f the book.

After testing all the scripts from the book, some of them don’t work consistently. The malware script that sends data between the server and client crashes constantly, so I had to replaced the python server side code and write one in nodejs. And I rewrote most the client python code to connect to the nodejs server.Other then that if you have no knowledge in hacking, this book is a good starting book, it’s just a shame that some of the most important code for this book doesn’t work consistently if you actually going to use it while learning.

Can I download the code files for Early Access titles? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

We try to ensure that all books in Early Access have code available to use, download, and fork on GitHub. This helps us be more agile in the development of the book, and helps keep the often changing code base of new versions and new technologies as up to date as possible. Unfortunately, however, there will be rare cases when it is not possible for us to have downloadable code samples available until publication.

When we publish the book, the code files will also be available to download from the Packt website.

How accurate is the publication date? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

The publication date is as accurate as we can be at any point in the project. Unfortunately, delays can happen. Often those delays are out of our control, such as changes to the technology code base or delays in the tech release. We do our best to give you an accurate estimate of the publication date at any given time, and as more chapters are delivered, the more accurate the delivery date will become.

How will I know when new chapters are ready? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

We'll let you know every time there has been an update to a course that you've bought in Early Access. You'll get an email to let you know there has been a new chapter, or a change to a previous chapter. The new chapters are automatically added to your account, so you can also check back there any time you're ready and download or read them online.

I am a Packt subscriber, do I get Early Access? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

How do I buy Early Access content? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

Early Access is a way of us getting our content to you quicker, but the method of buying the Early Access course is still the same. Just find the course you want to buy, go through the check-out steps, and you’ll get a confirmation email from us with information and a link to the relevant Early Access courses.

What is Early Access? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

Keeping up to date with the latest technology is difficult; new versions, new frameworks, new techniques. This feature gives you a head-start to our content, as it's being created. With Early Access you'll receive each chapter as it's written, and get regular updates throughout the product's development, as well as the final course as soon as it's ready.We created Early Access as a means of giving you the information you need, as soon as it's available. As we go through the process of developing a course, 99% of it can be ready but we can't publish until that last 1% falls in to place. Early Access helps to unlock the potential of our content early, to help you start your learning when you need it most. You not only get access to every chapter as it's delivered, edited, and updated, but you'll also get the finalized, DRM-free product to download in any format you want when it's published. As a member of Packt, you'll also be eligible for our exclusive offers, including a free course every day, and discounts on new and popular titles.
