When it comes to creating powerful and effective hacking tools, Python is the language of choice for most security analysts. But just how does the magic happen?

In Black Hat Python, the latest from Justin Seitz (author of the best-selling Gray Hat Python), you’ll explore the darker side of Python’s capabilities—writing network sniffers, manipulating packets, infecting virtual machines, creating stealthy trojans, and more.

You’ll learn how to:
–Create a trojan command-and-control using GitHub
–Detect sandboxing and automate common malware tasks, like keylogging and screenshotting
–Escalate Windows privileges with creative process control
–Use offensive memory forensics tricks to retrieve password hashes and inject shellcode into a virtual machine
–Extend the popular Burp Suite web-hacking tool
–Abuse Windows COM automation to perform a man-in-the-browser attack
–Exfiltrate data from a network most sneakily

Insider techniques and creative challenges throughout show you how to extend the hacks and how to write your own exploits.

When it comes to offensive security, your ability to create powerful tools on the fly is indispensable. Learn how in Black Hat Python.

<—Computerworld

"Black Hat Python is an excellent way to start by fully investigating how the language can be used for both the light – and dark – sides of hacking."
<—ZDNet

Great book. Python 3 isn't a concern, translates fine.

Great book, I was nervous about python 2 to 3 etc... But python 3 uses most if not all the python 2 libraries now. So the only difference is really the print statement. Not worth worrying about. Complements the gray hat one.

A great book for teaching python and computer security

Reviewed in the United States on September 13, 2020

Verified Purchase

I use this as a supplemental text in both my undergraduate systems programming course and in my advanced graduate class in data security. In the undergraduate class it lets the students practice their python and see some of network programming without getting lost in all the structs and pointers of the C language API. (Python neatly wraps the system calls, then once the students are more comfortable with C we look at those). In the advanced class, seeing how tools like nmap, netcat, and wget can be emulated with a python program is very informative. Especially when we use it to get around software installation restrictions imposed by the i****ts at the university.

Great book but.......

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on September 10, 2018

Verified Purchase

Like I said it's a great book if you are moderate to higher in your python exposure, a beginner can use it if your good a grasping new concepts quickly. the book is very good if you want to learn the "darker" side of scripting, but the only catch really is the book is out-dated and needs a volume 2 with all of the python and kali updates included. Its because if you try and set up your environment now to how the book explains you will have a pretty confusing time (Especially if you're still green). There have been a number of Kali Linux updates that have changed a number of thing on how the OS functions plus Python is in the third iteration and the book is written for 2.3 (please don't quote this, but I'm sure it is that) so some of the code in the book doesn't work. also for a side note; some of the atttact vectors that the book gives you may have been patched. But please understand that this is a good book if you need some reference material, and again don't be swayed but my criticisms, this is a good book which can teach you some fun things to try.
