Key benefits

  • Learn to handle cyber attacks with modern Python scripting
  • Discover various Python libraries for building and securing your network
  • Understand Python packages and libraries to secure your network infrastructure

Description

It’s becoming more and more apparent that security is a critical aspect of IT infrastructure. A data breach is a major security incident, usually carried out by just hacking a simple network line. Increasing your network’s security helps step up your defenses against cyber attacks. Meanwhile, Python is being used for increasingly advanced tasks, with the latest update introducing many new packages. This book focuses on leveraging these updated packages to build a secure network with the help of Python scripting. This book covers topics from building a network to the different procedures you need to follow to secure it. You’ll first be introduced to different packages and libraries, before moving on to different ways to build a network with the help of Python scripting. Later, you will learn how to check a network’s vulnerability using Python security scripting, and understand how to check vulnerabilities in your network. As you progress through the chapters, you will also learn how to achieve endpoint protection by leveraging Python packages along with writing forensic scripts. By the end of this book, you will be able to get the most out of the Python language to build secure and robust networks that are resilient to attacks.

Who is this book for?

This book is ideal for network engineers, system administrators, or any security professional looking at tackling networking and security challenges. Programmers with some prior experience in Python will get the most out of this book. Some basic understanding of general programming structures and Python is required.

What you will learn

  • Develop Python scripts for automating security and pentesting tasks
  • Discover the Python standard library s main modules used for performing security-related tasks
  • Automate analytical tasks and the extraction of information from servers
  • Explore processes for detecting and exploiting vulnerabilities in servers
  • Use network software for Python programming
  • Perform server scripting and port scanning with Python
  • Identify vulnerabilities in web applications with Python
  • Use Python to extract metadata and forensics

Ok, this is hands down one of the best python books I've purchased about security. I've always had questions about some of the OOP stuff as well as developing my own modules. This books explains everything in Barney style language so we can understand. Some great chapters on web app pentesting. Love this book

typos on every page. Level of English is so bad that sometimes it's hard to determine what the author really meant.A waste of time to try reading the book, though may be useful to glance through some topics to get an overview (that's what I actually did). Really bad quality of content.Partially that's probably because of the lack of editors.The Author himself is a professional and based on some youtube videos I saw, I think he is a professional in this field.But still someone reads a book because it usually gives a structured complete knowledge. That's what this book lacks. It's messy, with lots of repetitions, some explanations miss. Such books IMHO do not require Python general overview, so as it's anyway not even close to the level required to understand concepts. Makes more sens to throw overview away but give more details on main subjects. Like sockets (for me they are not described enough here so had to look somewhere else (like Brandon Rhodes, John Goerzen book)
