Black Hat Python: Python Programming for Hackers and Pentesters
'Black Hat Python- Python Programming for Hackers and -- Justin Seitz; Tim Arnold, informaticien) --' reveals how to harness the speed, versatility, and elegance of Python to build custom offensive security tools and exploitation scripts. Written for security practitioners and ethical hackers, this practical manual transforms theoretical offensive concepts into working weaponized tools.
Readers learn to construct raw packet sniffers with Scapy, build custom Burp Suite extensions, deploy stealthy command-and-control (C2) architectures, manipulate Windows process tokens, escalate privileges, inject code, and automate forensic memory analysis using Volatility. Every chapter features production-ready Python code.
An indispensable guide for red teamers, penetration testers, and offensive researchers who want to write their own custom hacking toolsets.
