Gray Hat Python

Praise

“I can recommend Gray Hat Python to all people who want to get an overview of hacking tools and hacking techniques that make use of Python. It is a no-nonsense book which follows a simple recipe: give a brief overview of a hacking technique and then dive straight into a real-world example.”
—The-Interweb.com

“A headfirst dive into the day-to-day coding all app pentesters end up doing.”
—Thomas Ptacek

Gray Hat Python “succeeded in showing me with relative ease how a trained security researcher or determined hacker could use relatively straightforward Python scripts to infiltrate the most prevalent consumer operating system today.”
—Dr. Dobb’s CodeTalk

“Justin does a great job elaborating the code examples used throughout [Gray Hat Python]. . . Chapter 3 is just downright awesome.”
—Carnal0wnage

Gray Hat Python ”is a must for all people who deal with security on a technical level.”
—Geek at Large

“This book was a joy to read.”
—Kramses blog

Gray Hat Python ”is really well-written and has a nice structure which is common among No Starch Press books; that is, more code less talk.”

“If you use python for your day-to-day scripting and perform some reverse engineering/debugging/fuzzing tasks, then this definitely a book that is bound to catch your attention.”

“I recommend the book. . . It’s a good book to help security engineers use python to begin analyzing software vulnerabilities. Primarily it’s a book about using python to debug and to a lesser degree fuzz. It’s a good insight into how Immunity does things and will help you look at CANVAS code a little easier. For that alone it’s definitely worth buying.”
