Python is still the dominant language in the world of information security, even if the conversation about your language of choice sometimes looks more like a religious war. Python-based tools include all manner of fuzzers, proxies, and even the occasional exploit. Exploit frameworks like CANVAS are written in Python as are more obscure tools like PyEmu or Sulley. If you are interested in tinkering with information security tasks, Python is a great language to learn because of the large number of reverse engineering and exploitation libraries available for your use. Now if only the Metasploit developers would come to their senses and switch from Ruby to Python, our community would be united. Python Programming for Hackers and Pentesters book, covers a large range of topics that an enterprising young hacker would need to get off the ground. Includes walkthroughs of how to read and write network packets, how to sniff the network, as well as anything you might need for web application auditing and attacking. In general, Black Hat Python is a fun read, and while it might not turn you into a super stunt hacker, it can certainly get you started down the path. Remember, the difference between script kiddies and professionals is the difference between merely using other people’s tools and writing your own.
