✦ Synopsis

When it comes to creating powerful and effective hacking tools, Python is the language of choice for most security analysts. Seitz explores the darker side of Python's capabilities--writing network sniffers, manipulating packets, infecting virtual machines, creating stealthy trojans, and more. Readers will learn how to: create a trojan command-and-control using GitHub; detect sandboxing and automate common malware tasks, like keylogging and screenshotting; escalate Windows privileges with creative process control; use offensive memory forensics tricks to retrieve password hashes and inject shellcode into a virtual machine; extend the popular Burp Suite Web-hacking tool; abuse Windows COM automation to perform a man-in-the-browser attack; and exfiltrate data from a network most sneakily. Insider techniques and creative challenges throughout show readers how to extend the hacks and how to write their own exploits. --  Read more...
