This book explains how to see one's own network through the eyes of an attacker, to understand their techniques and effectively protect against them. Through Python code samples the reader learns to code tools on subjects such as password sniffing, ARP poisoning, DNS spoofing, SQL injection, Google harvesting, Bluetooth and Wifi hacking. Furthermore the reader will be introduced to defense methods such as intrusion detection and prevention systems and log file analysis by diving into code.
"This book offers a set of tools written in the Python programming language that can be used to test network vulnerabilities. ... This book would be of value to those who are interested in network security and penetration testing at the code level. ... And if one has the necessary background, the book can be very useful to take this knowledge to a deeper level in the nuts and bolts of how this stuff really works." (J. M. Artz, Computing Reviews, August, 2015)
