Course details
Python is a great language for learning, writing web applications, and manipulating data. However, Python can be used for security testing, as well. This course from ITProTV explores the use of Python in such concepts as brute force password cracking, making SSH connections programmatically, creating socket connections and port scanner a particular host, banner grabbing from open ports, and more. You can even put many of the projects that you build during the course together into a forwarding packet sniffer!
