Description
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.
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 Scrapy, 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
