Master Shell Scripting: Build Custom Tools & Automate Pentesting

Description

Take your cybersecurity skills to the next level by mastering Python and Bash scripting for offensive security. This practical, lab-driven guide shows you how to automate penetration testing, build custom hacking tools, and script smarter workflows for red-teaming and ethical hacking. Whether you’re a beginner learning shell scripting or a seasoned professional scaling pentests, this book equips you with the skills to craft scripts that actually work in the field.

What’s Inside?

🐚 Shell Scripting Foundations – Learn Bash essentials, automation patterns, variables, loops, functions, and cron jobs for persistence.

🐍 Python for Hackers – Develop scanning, enumeration, fuzzing, and exploitation tools with Python libraries like Scapy and Requests.

⚡ Offensive Automation – Build recon pipelines, vulnerability scanners, log analyzers, and payload generators to speed up penetration tests.

🛠 Tool Integrations – Supercharge Nmap, Metasploit, Burp Suite, and REST APIs with custom scripts for full-stack security workflows.

🔒 Stealth & Performance – Use multithreading, async I/O, error handling, and obfuscation techniques to make your scripts faster and more evasive.

🚀 Hands-On Projects – Reverse shells, web shells, network probing, fuzzers, and other real-world offensive scripts — each explained step by step.

🛡 Safe & Responsible – Lab-first methodology with defensive countermeasures so you also learn how to detect and stop the attacks you script.

🔥 Why This Book? Unlike generic programming guides, this playbook is written for hackers and cybersecurity professionals. Every example is tied to real-world pentesting use cases, making it the perfect resource for students, security engineers, and red-teamers.
