Utilize Python scripting to execute effective and efficient
penetration tests About This Book * Understand how and where Python
scripts meet the need for penetration testing * Familiarise
yourself with the process of highlighting a specific methodology to
exploit an environment to fetch critical data * Develop your Python
and penetration testing skills with real-world examples Who This
Book Is For If you are a security professional or researcher, with
knowledge of different operating systems and a conceptual idea of
penetration testing, and you would like to grow your knowledge in
Python, then this book is ideal for you. What You Will Learn *
Familiarise yourself with the generation of Metasploit resource
files * Use the Metasploit Remote Procedure Call (MSFRPC) to
automate exploit generation and execution * Use Python's Scapy,
network, socket, office, Nmap libraries, and custom modules * Parse
Microsoft Office spreadsheets and eXtensible Markup Language (XML)
data files * Write buffer overflows and reverse Metasploit modules
to expand capabilities * Exploit Remote File Inclusion (RFI) to
gain administrative access to systems with Python and other
scripting languages * Crack an organization's Internet perimeter *
Chain exploits to gain deeper access to an organization's resources
* Interact with web services with Python In Detail Python is a
powerful new-age scripting platform that allows you to build
exploits, evaluate services, automate, and link solutions with
ease. Python is a multi-paradigm programming language well suited
to both object-oriented application development as well as
functional design patterns. Because of the power and flexibility
offered by it, Python has become one of the most popular languages
used for penetration testing. This book highlights how you can
evaluate an organization methodically and realistically. Specific
tradecraft and techniques are covered that show you exactly when
and where industry tools can and should be used and when Python
fits a need that proprietary and open source solutions do not.
Initial methodology, and Python fundamentals are established and
then built on. Specific examples are created with vulnerable system
images, which are available to the community to test scripts,
techniques, and exploits. This book walks you through real-world
penetration testing challenges and how Python can help. From start
to finish, the book takes you through how to create Python scripts
that meet relative needs that can be adapted to particular
situations. As chapters progress, the script examples explain new
concepts to enhance your foundational knowledge, culminating with
you being able to build multi-threaded security tools, link
security tools together, automate reports, create custom exploits,
and expand Metasploit modules. Style and approach This book is a
practical guide that will help you become better penetration
testers and/or Python security tool developers. Each chapter builds
on concepts and tradecraft using detailed examples in test
environments that you can simulate.
