Preface
This book is a practical guide that shows you the advantages of using Python for
pentesting, with the help of detailed code examples. This book starts by exploring the
basics of networking with Python and then proceeds to network and wireless pentesting,
including information gathering and attacking. You will learn how to build honeypot traps.
Later on, we delve into hacking the application layer, where we start by gathering
information from a website, and then eventually move on to concepts related to website
hacking, such as parameter tampering, DDOS, XSS, and SQL injection.
$IBQUFS, Sniffing and Penetration Testing, teaches how to perform active sniffing and how
to create a Transport layer sniffer. You will learn special kinds of scanning.
$IBQUFS, Network Attacks and Prevention, outlines different types of network attacks, such
as DHCP starvation and switch mac flooding. You will learn how to detect a torrent on the
client side.

Preface
$IBQUFS, Wireless Pentesting, goes through wireless frames and explains how to obtain
information such as SSID, BSSID, and the channel number from a wireless frame using a
Python script. In this type of attack, you will learn how to perform pentesting attacks on the
AP.
$IBQUFS, Honeypot ` Building Traps for Attackers, focuses on how to build a trap for
attackers. You will learn how to bulid code from TCP layer 2 to TCP layer 4.
$IBQUFS, Foot Printing a Web Server and a Web Application, dives into the importance of a
web server signature, email gathering, and why knowing the server signature is the first
step in hacking.
$IBQUFS, Client-Side and DDoS Attacks, explores client-side validation and how to bypass
client-side validation. This chapter covers the implantation of four types of DDoS attacks.
$IBQUFS, Pentesting SQL and XSS, discusses two major web attacks: SQL injection and
XSS. In SQL injection, you will learn how to find the admin login page using a Python
script.
In order to perform experiments or run the codes reader can use the virtual machine
(Vmware, virtual box). For Wireless pen-testing readers can use a wireless card TP-Link TL-
WN722N. Becuase TL-WN722N wireless card supports the Kali Linux in VMware.

Python with Penetration Testing
and Networking
Penetration (pen) tester and hacker are similar terms. The difference is that penetration
testers work for an organization to prevent hacking attempts, while hackers hack for any
purpose such as fame, selling vulnerability for money, or to exploit the vulnerability of
personal enmity.
Lots of well-trained hackers have got jobs in the information security field by hacking into a
system and then informing the victim of their security bug(s) so that they might be fixed.
A hacker is called a penetration tester when they work for an organization or company to
secure its system. A pentester performs hacking attempts to break into the network after
getting legal approval from the client and then presents a report of their findings. To
become an expert in pentesting, a person should have a deep knowledge of the concepts of
their technology. In this chapter, we will cover the following topics:
