Hacking with Python and Kali-Linux (eBook)

Python is an easy to learn, yet very diverse and powerful programming language and that for the language of choice for many hackers. Learn to write your own tools and use them on Kali Linux to see how hackers attack systems and exploit vulnerabilities. Developing your own tools will give you a much deeper understanding of how and why attacks work. After a short introduction to programming with Python, you will learn to write a wide variety of hacking tools using many practical examples. You will quickly find out for yourself how terrifyingly simple that is. By integrating existing tools such as Metasploit and Nmap, scripts become even more efficient and shorter. Use the knowledge you have gained here to test your systems for security holes and close them before others can take advantage of them!

Alicia has been fascinated by computers since she was a child and started programming at an early age - while many of her classmates didn't have a computer at all or played with computers at most, Alicia was in QBasic fever! She could spend hours tinkering with her programs. It was therefore hardly surprising that she later start a career in that field. Around the turn of the millennium, she came into contact with Linux and began to deal with the administration of Linux and later also Unix systems in addition to software development. Today she looks after servers for customers in several countries in Europe, helps companies with the integration of Linux systems or the migration to Linux and develops individual software solutions for their customers.
