I am most of the way through this book and have found the information to be invaluable. I have worked with Python and other languages for many years but for those who may be less experienced this book starts with basic information on how to setup and prepare your environment and technics. Once you have an environment to work with the book covers attacking web applications and cloud. It contains a great deal of information to help automate testing and other operations. After you have experience working with offensive techniques the nook moves into defensive topics.I found the code examples to be correct, clear and easy to understand. If you are looking to increase your knowledge and skills in Red / Blue team activities this book is a great resource that can take you from very beginner to professional.

Offensive Security Using Python is a great book for security and cloud engineers who are looking at advancing their skillsets using automation. The book starts with gentle introduction on Python, followed by multiple web exploitation tools that can be automated using Python and scripting. I specially enjoyed the focus on Cloud Espionage, and use of tools like prowler. Given many organizations are moving to Cloud it is a timely topic to cover. The book also has a part on Defensive Strategies using python which completes the loop on the overall process for proactive identification of security issues and defense using secure coding practices and incident response. I wish authors Rejah and Manindar good luck for the success of this edition.

I really liked that the book took the time to go over some tips that novice python scripters can use to improve their overall use of python, as well as code examples for using the most well-accepted security libraries.I think this book is best used as a reference by those with at least the basics of python, and I am glad it is on my shelf.

From just flipping through chapters, I can see the idea of the book is to break down a security concept then showcase how python can be implemented for automation. There's definitely expertise shown for the web attack explanations and the cloud security section appears to be accurate. Looking forward to reading things through thoroughly when I dive back into Python. -Associate Security Analyst
