What you'll do
The Python Tool Building lab is divided into two parts: Python Fundamentals and Python Tool Building.
- If you're new to Python, or have limited experience, please complete the exercises found in part one.
- The exercises will provide you with a primer on important Python fundamentals.
- If you have experience with Python, you may want to skip the first section, or simply refer to it during the labs.
- In part two, you will build several scanning/enumeration and exploitation scripts.
- These scripts will demonstrate the power and usefulness of Python when performing penetration tests and red team exercises.
- The scripts are meant to be fairly straightforward proof-of-concepts to get your started.
- You are highly encouraged to customize and extend the scripts to work beyond the scenarios provided.
- ⏱ About 2 h
- Counts towards: CompTIA PenTest+ (exam PT0-003)
