In this chapter, you learned about two major types of web attacks, SQL injection, and XSS. In SQL injection, you learned how to find the admin login page using Python script. There are lots of different queries for SQL injection and, in this chapter, you learned how to crack usernames and passwords based on a tautology. In another attack of SQL injection, you learned how to make a comment after a valid username. In the XSS, you saw how to apply XSS exploits to the form field, and in the mohit.xss file, you saw how to add more exploits.

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.
