Overview of this book

This book gives you the skills you need to use Python for penetration testing (pentesting), with the help of detailed code examples. We start by exploring the basics of networking with Python and then proceed to network hacking. Then, you will delve into exploring Python libraries to perform various types of pentesting and ethical hacking techniques. Next, we delve into hacking the application layer, where we start by gathering information from a website. We then move on to concepts related to website hacking—such as parameter tampering, DDoS, XSS, and SQL injection. By reading this book, you will learn different techniques and methodologies that will familiarize you with Python pentesting techniques, how to protect yourself, and how to create automated programs to find the admin console, SQL injection, and XSS attacks.

Sniffing and Penetration Testing

When I was pursuing my Master of engineering (M.E) degree, I used to sniff the networks in my friends' hostel with my favorite tool, Cain and Abel. My friends would usually surf e-commerce websites. The next day, when I told them that the shoes they were shopping for were good, they would be amazed. They always wondered how I got this information. Well, this is all due to sniffing the network.

In this chapter, we will study sniffing a network, and will cover the following topics:

  • The concept of a sniffer
  • The types of network sniffing
  • Network sniffing using Python
  • Packet crafting using Python
  • The ARP spoofing concept and implementation by Python
  • Testing security by custom-packet crafting
