Gray Hat Python: Python Programming for Hackers and Reverse Engineers

<div><p>Python is fast becoming the programming language of choice for hackers, reverse engineers, and software testers because it's 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.</p><br /><p><i>Gray Hat Python</i> 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 won't cut it.</p><br /><p>You'll learn how to:</p><br /><ul><li>Automate tedious reversing and security tasks</li><li>Design and program your own debugger</li><li>Learn how to fuzz Windows drivers and create powerful fuzzers from scratch</li><li>Have fun with code and library injection, soft and hard hooking techniques, and other software trickery</li><li>Sniff secure traffic out of an encrypted web browser session</li><li>Use PyDBG, Immunity Debugger, Sulley, IDAPython, PyEMU, and more</li></ul><br /><p>The world's best hackers are using Python to do their handiwork. Shouldn't you?</p></div>
