Summary


We have gone through some of the libraries which can be used for security automation. Now we are ready to use these modules in our scripts. This will help us to automate many security tasks. We can also use the results from one script or tool to another, thus cascading the tools to automate pentesting.

This book brings insight into the basic usage of Python and its related modules, which helps the reader to attain profound knowledge in Penetration Testing. The chapters cover the fundamental ideas of performing security testing with Python, in a nutshell. The reader can attain unprecedented heights in security testing with the help of the techniques and resources presented in this book. The power of Python is yet to be harnessed in its entirety. Its outreach in security testing is broad, and we leave the reader at a crossroads, to explore this in more depth.
