Violent Python, 1st Edition

A Cookbook for Hackers, Forensic Analysts, Penetration Testers and Security

Discover how to use Python to exploit systems and build effective pen testing tools to defend your system from attackers.

Key Features
- Demonstrates how to write Python scripts to automate large-scale network attacks, extract metadata, and investigate forensic artifacts. - Write code to intercept and analyze network traffic using Python. Craft and spoof wireless frames to attack wireless and Bluetooth devices. - Data-mine popular social media websites and evade modern anti-virus.

Description
Violent Python shows you how to move from a theoretical understanding of offensive computing concepts to a practical implementation. Instead of relying on another attackers tools, this book will teach you to forge your own weapons using the Python programming language. This book demonstrates how to write Python scripts to automate large-scale network attacks, extract metadata, and investigate forensic artifacts. It also shows how to write code to intercept and analyze network traffic using Python, craft and spoof wireless frames to attack wireless and Bluetooth devices, and how to data-mine popular social media websites and evade modern antivirus. Readership Penetration Tester, Forensic Analysts, IT Security Professionals (Security Auditors, Security Engineers, Compliance Specialists, etc.)

The Skinny on Violent Python

Before diving in, it should be mentioned that the files containing the source code for all recipes in the book are located on its Syngress Homepage. It is recommended to write the code from scratch as the book is read to greatly facilitate learning and retention, but having the code quickly and easily accessible is a nice perk (should it ever be needed). The books contents are broken down as follows: Chapter 1: Introduction Chapter 2: Penetration Testing with Python Chapter 3: Forensic Investigations with Python Chapter 4: Network Traffic Analysis with Python Chapter 5: Wireless Mayhem with Python Chapter 6: Web Recon With Python Chapter 7: Antivirus Evasion with Python Dozens of recipes are packed into the books 288 pages, and readers will likely be surprised at the types of results that can be so easily achieved with Python. While space constraints prevent every recipe from being enumerated in detail, some of the more interesting recipes that are covered throughout the course of the book include:

 Developing online and offline password crackers Interacting with Nmap and Metasploit Recreating Conficker Delivering an exploit for a stack-based buffer overflow Pillaging iTunes backups, the Windows registry, and SQLite databases Correlating network traffic to physical locations and creating Google Earth maps Building an SSH Botnet IDS and AV evasion Parsing metadata, web sites, and Tweets Creating social engineering email campaigns Parsing and logging wireless traffic Orchestrating Bluetooth-based attacks Hijacking a UAV The introduction discusses how to setup a Python development environment and serves as a crash-course in the language itself. This will help the reader get up and running, and may serve as a useful refresher for those who have dabbled in the language previously. However, it may be inadequate for someone who has never touched the language before. Note: This is not a criticism of the book, as it would be quite unfair to expect Python programming to be covered thoroughly in a handful of pages when entire books have been dedicated to the subject. Additionally, many of the explanations in the book discuss what actions a particular block of code performs, as opposed to providing a line-by-line breakdown. Being able to read common Python statements will allow the reader to more quickly understand and assimilate the core material. Those with little-to-no Python experience may find themselves better prepared to journey through this title by taking a brief detour and starting with Googles free two-day course and/or Learn Python the Hard Way.
