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.

What you will learn

  • Program your own tools in Python that can be used in a Network Security process
  • Automate tasks of analysis and extraction of information from servers
  • Detect server vulnerabilities and analyze security in web applications
  • Automate security and pentesting tasks by creating scripts with Python

I felt the book provided a great beginner's outlook for python required for security tool development. It starts off great the basics of python, if you're completely new to the subject. The follows deep into the topics it wants to cover such as socket programming, which in my experience with CTF competitions has been a very useful skill. I particularly liked the Chapter 5 (which delves into packet capture analysis) , and Chapter 12 ( which is more about forensic analysis of files). I haven't been able to find a more comprehensive material on these particular topics. The book has tonnes of examples which definitely make it easier to learn the concepts.

This book is a great way to add Python to your security abilities, you begin with python scripts which are very useful in building working functions, working with files and also working with packages. The fact that your can work in virtual enviorments was fascinating. This book takes you Though ways to leverage python in your security posture. Chapter 5 illustrates one of the most important parts of security and that is anaylizing network traffic and packet sniffing, this is where you have the ability to see a hacker on your network. Chapter 7 shows how to interact with ftp, sftp and ssh servers and shows you how to build a anonymous ftp server. This book will set well in any security professionals library and is a great asset to have. I believe that in todays cyber world that security professionals or anyone looking to gain a upper hand in security and taking on networking challenges should have this book.

Chapter 1: "Working with Python Scripting" provides a comprehensive overview of Python scripting, making it an excellent resource for security professionals. The content covers a wide range of topics, including data structures, functions, classes, and even inheritance. Practical examples and clear language make it easy to understand. The inclusion of links to external resources is a bonus for further exploration. However, specifying the relevant Python versions and adding visual aids would enhance the learning experience. Overall, a valuable guide for those looking to strengthen their Python scripting skills, especially in the context of security.

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.
