Discover an up-to-date and authoritative exploration of Python cybersecurity strategies
Python For Cybersecurity: Using Python for Cyber Offense and Defense delivers an intuitive and hands-on explanation of using Python for cybersecurity. It relies on the MITRE ATT&CK framework to structure its exploration of cyberattack techniques, attack defenses, and the key cybersecurity challenges facing network administrators and other stakeholders today.
Offering downloadable sample code, the book is written to help you discover how to use Python in a wide variety of cybersecurity situations, including
Reconnaissance, resource development, initial access, and execution
Persistence, privilege escalation, defense evasion, and credential access
Discovery, lateral movement, collection, and command and control
Exfiltration and impact
Each chapter includes discussions of several techniques and sub-techniques that could be used to achieve an attacker's objectives in any of these use cases. The ideal resource for anyone with a professional or personal interest in cybersecurity, Python For Cybersecurity offers in-depth information about a wide variety of attacks and effective, Python-based defenses against them.
