Conventions

In this book, you will find a number of text styles that distinguish between different kinds of information. Here are some examples of these styles and an explanation of their meaning.

Code words in text, database table names, folder names, filenames, file extensions, pathnames, dummy URLs, user input, and Twitter handles are shown as follows: "We can include other contexts through the use of the include directive."

A block of code is set as follows:

try:
    import docx
    from docx.shared import Inches
except:
    sys.exit("[!] Install the docx writer library as root or through sudo: pip install python-docx")

Any command-line input or output is written as follows:

echo TEST > my_wordlist

New terms and important words are shown in bold. Words that you see on the screen, for example, in menus or dialog boxes, appear in the text like this: "We organize the vulnerabilities by Number Of Exploits Descending to find the exploitable vulnerabilities."
