Setting Up a Python Environment

In this chapter, we will cover the following recipes:

Setting up a Python environment in Linux
Setting up a Python environment in macOS
Setting up a Python environment in Windows

Key benefits

Learn to detect and avoid various types of attack that put system privacy at risk

Enhance your knowledge of wireless application concepts and information gathering through practical recipes

Learn a pragmatic way to penetration-test using Python, build efficient code, and save time

Description

Penetration testing is the use of tools and code to attack a system in order to assess its vulnerabilities to external threats. Python allows pen testers to create their own tools. Since Python is a highly valued pen-testing language, there are many native libraries and Python bindings available specifically for pen-testing tasks. Python Penetration Testing Cookbook begins by teaching you how to extract information from web pages. You will learn how to build an intrusion detection system using network sniffing techniques. Next, you will find out how to scan your networks to ensure performance and quality, and how to carry out wireless pen testing on your network to avoid cyber attacks. After that, we’ll discuss the different kinds of network attack. Next, you’ll get to grips with designing your own torrent detection program. We’ll take you through common vulnerability scenarios and then cover buffer overflow exploitation so you can detect insecure coding. Finally, you’ll master PE code injection methods to safeguard your network.

What you will learn

•Learn to configure Python in different environment setups.

•Find an IP address from a web page using BeautifulSoup and Scrapy

•Discover different types of packet sniffing script to sniff network packets

•Master layer-2 and TCP/ IP attacks

•Master techniques for exploit development for Windows and Linux

•Incorporate various network- and packet-sniffing techniques using Raw sockets and Scrapy

Covers most of the penetration testing scenarios. A lot of out of the box pen testing recipes.

Only 205 pages (vs 728).Not with the price tag in my opinion.

Piehole Willie Aug 04, 2020

It's like if you already know how to grill a steak… and you already know how to boil a lobster… then someone sells you a book on how to make a new dish called “surf & turf”. Book assumes you know pen testing. And assumes you know Python. So here’s a quick few pages on how to do some pen test tricks in Python!Here are my issues with this book (I bought the Kindle edition yesterday and finished it already): (1) its pretty short at 206 total pages, with way too many of those few pages spent on preface, intro, table of contents, setting up Python…. I didn't even get the first pen test topic until 21% into the book. Not a lot of substance here. (2) Its a sampling of a few pen test topics, not, in my opinion, a reasonably comprehensive “cookbook”. (3) The pen test tasks/concepts the recipes are intended to solve for are barely described. For example, the concept of IP Spoofing is described in literally just two sentences before diving into the code example. (4) The code examples are all about “what” and not about “why”. “Import these modules, declare these variables, type this function, then run the script!” No explanation at all about the modules themselves, no explanation of the Python code samples to help you understand why it works, no point of view around how this code would be used in the context of an actual pen test.I had high hopes for this. I’m a big fan of Packt, and I own and recommend many of their titles. But I didn’t get much value out of this one.
