Python is fast becoming the programming language of choice for hackers, reverse engineers, and software testers because its easy to write quickly, and it has the low-level support and libraries that make hackers happy. But until now, there has been no real manual on how to use Python for a variety of hacking tasks. You had to dig through forum posts and man pages, endlessly tweaking your own code to get everything working. Not anymore. Gray Hat Python explains the concepts behind hacking tools and techniques like debuggers, trojans, fuzzers, and emulators. But author Justin Seitz goes beyond theory, showing you how to harness existing Python-based security tools - and how to build your own when the pre-built ones wont cut it. Youll learn how to Automate tedious reversing and security tasksDesign and program your own debuggerLearn how to fuzz Windows drivers and create powerful fuzzers from scratchHave fun with code and library injection, soft and hard hooking techniques, and other software trickerySniff secure traffic out of an encrypted web browser sessionUse PyDBG, Immunity Debugger, Sulley, IDAPython, PyEMU, and more The worlds best hackers are using Python to do their handiwork.
