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.

Email address gathering from a web page

In this section, we will learn how to find the email addresses from a web page. In order to find the email addresses, we will use the regular expressions. The approach is very simple: first, get all the data from a given web page, then use email regular expression to obtain email addresses.

Let's see the code:

import urllib
import re
from bs4 import BeautifulSoup
url = raw_input("Enter the URL ")
ht= urllib.urlopen(url)
html_page = ht.read()
email_pattern=re.compile(r'\b[\w.-]+?@\w+?\.\w+?\b')
for match in re.findall(email_pattern,html_page ):
print match

The preceding code is very simple. The html_page variable contains all the web page data. The r'\b[\w.-]+?@\w+?\.\w+?\b' regular expression represents the email address.

Now let's see the output:

The preceding result is absolutely correct. The given URL...
