This book is intended for network engineers, system administrators, or any security
professionals who are looking to tackle networking and security challenges. Security
researchers and developers with some prior experience of Python would get the most
from this book. A basic understanding of general programming structures and Python is
required.
This book will start by walking you through the scripts and libraries of Python that are
related to networking and security. You will then dive deep into core networking tasks
and learn how to take care of networking challenges. Later, this book will teach you how
to write security scripts to detect vulnerabilities in your network or website. By the end of
this book, you will have learned how to achieve endpoint protection by leveraging Python
packages, along with how to extract metadata from documents and how to write forensics
and cryptography scripts.
