Python for the Ethical Hacking – 2nd Edition

Description

Beginners who want practical, hands‑on learning — and experienced pen‑testers wanting reusable Python toolkits and modern offensive techniques.

Learn to think like an attacker and act like a defender. This 2nd edition expands coverage of advanced scripting, web app exploitation (SQLi, XSS), wireless & cloud attack techniques, privilege escalation, social engineering tactics, and offensive forensics — all demonstrated in clear, practical Python examples. Each chapter includes exercises, ready-made scripts, and defensive notes so you can both attack and secure real systems responsibly.
