Reviews for Black Hat Python, 2nd Edition: Python Programming for Hackers and Pentesters

Praise for the first edition of Black Hat Python Another incredible Python book. With a minor tweak or two many of these programs will have at least a ten year shelf life, and that is rare for a security book. --Stephen Northcutt, founding president of the SANS Technology Institute A great book using Python for offensive security purposes. --Andrew Case, Volatility core developer and coauthor of The Art of Memory Forensics If you truly have a hacker's mindset, a spark is all you need to make it your own and do something even more amazing. Justin Seitz offers plenty of sparks. --Ethical Hacker Whether you're interested in becoming a serious hacker/penetration tester or just want to know how they work, this book is one you need to read. Intense, technically sound, and eye-opening. --Sandra Henry-Stocker, IT World Definitely a recommended read for the technical security professional with some basic previous exposure to Python. --Richard Austin, IEEE Cipher A well-written book that will put you on track to being able to write powerful and potentially scary tools. It's up to you to use them for good. --Steve Mansfield-Devine, editor of Elsevier's Network Security Newsletter A well implemented read with lots of good ideas for fun offensive Python projects. So enjoy, and don't forget it's all about the code! --Dan Borges, LockBoxx A useful eye-opener. --MagPi Magazine
