Black hat python

When it comes to creating powerful and effective hacking tools, Python is the language of choice for most security analysts But just how does the magic happen? Create a trojan command-and-control using GitHub Detect sandboxing and automate com­ mon 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 Abuse Windows COM automation to perform a man-in-the-browser attack Exfiltrate data from a network most sneakily Insider techniques and creative challenges throughout show you how to extend the hacks and how to write your own exploits When it comes to offensive security, your ability to create powerful tools on the fly is indispensable Learn how in Black Hat Python About the Author Justin Seitz is a senior security researcher for Immunity, Inc., where he spends his time bug hunting, reverse engineering, writing exploits, and coding Python He is the author of Gray Hat Python (No Starch Press), the first book to cover Python for security analysis Black Hat Python Python Programming for Hackers and Pentesters Python Programming for Hackers and Pentesters In Black Hat Python, the latest from Justin Seitz (author of the best-selling Gray Hat Python), you’ll explore the darker side of Python’s capabilities—writing network sniffers, manipulating packets, infecting virtual machines, creating stealthy trojans, and more You’ll learn how to: Extend the popular Burp Suite webhacking tool Black Hat Python “The difference between script kiddies and professionals is the difference between merely using other people’s tools and writing your own.” — Charlie Miller, from the foreword T H E F I N E ST I N G E E K E N T E RTA I N M E N T ™ w w w.nostarch.com $34.95 ($36.95 CDN) Shelve In: Computers/Security ISBN: 978-1-59327-590-7 53495 781593 275907 89145 75900 Seitz Justin Seitz Foreword by Charlie Miller www.it-ebooks.info www.it-ebooks.info Black Hat Python www.it-ebooks.info www.it-ebooks.info Black Hat Python Python Programming for Hackers and Pentesters b y Ju s t in Se i t z San Francisco www.it-ebooks.info Black Hat Python Copyright © 2015 by Justin Seitz All rights reserved No part of this work may be reproduced or transmitted in any form or by any means, electronic or mechanical, including photocopying, recording, or by any information storage or retrieval system, without the prior written permission of the copyright owner and the publisher Printed in USA First printing 18 17 16 15 14   ISBN-10: 1-59327-590-0 ISBN-13: 978-1-59327-590-7 Publisher: William Pollock Production Editor: Serena Yang Cover Illustration: Garry Booth Interior Design: Octopod Studios Developmental Editor: Tyler Ortman Technical Reviewers: Dan Frisch and Cliff Janzen Copyeditor: Gillian McGarvey Compositor: Lynn L’Heureux Proofreader: James Fraleigh Indexer: BIM Indexing and Proofreading Services For information on distribution, translations, or bulk sales, please contact No Starch Press, Inc directly: No Starch Press, Inc 245 8th Street, San Francisco, CA 94103 phone: 415.863.9900;
