Intro0:45
Explore ethical hacking with Python, starting with an introduction to Python for beginners. Build attack surface programs and practice brute force and key logger projects as you advance.
Introduction2:41
Explore the basics of Python and build programs to map the attack surface, then study brute-force techniques and the key logger for ethical hacking.

Introduction0:10
Subdomain scanner4:46
Automate subdomain enumeration with Python by iterating a wordlist and checking each generated subdomain against the target domain using requests to uncover entry points.
Directory scanner3:56
Increase your attack surface by scanning a domain for directories using a word list, trying every combination, and revealing exposed directories to assess what should not be exposed.
Scan network4:04
Discover devices on a network by scanning with ICMP ping and ARP, configure the network interface and IP range, and identify targets to assess the attack surface.
Port scanner4:22
Learn how port scanners identify open ports and map a network's attack surface, using tools like Nmap or Python scripts to assess targets.

Introduction0:12
SSH brute force3:45
Explore ssh brute force techniques to gain access by testing usernames and massive password lists with brute-force scripts against target ports and services.
More scripts1:50
Discover how to find and apply brute force scripts for multiple protocols using Python, and browse open ports to identify tools for FTP, Telnet, PostgreSQL, and WiFi networks.
More brute force scripts0:12
Download files1:50
Learn how to download files with Python using the requests module over http, via a script that writes data to disk and can loop through multiple downloads.
Keylogger2:58
Explore how to create a keylogger with Python that records every keystroke, demonstrates replaying keys, and shows turning Python scripts into executables for Windows.

Requirements

Python programming experience recommended, but not required

Description

The title of this course is “Hacking with Python”, and it's a course for everyone interested in hacking or Python. If you’re a hacker, you’re probably thinking “But it’s not! Python is for business applications and engineering. Not for me! I hack on the command-line.”

Ahem, I see what you did there: cute. But I have news for you: python is a great language to start learning now. Why? Because it’s becoming one of the most popular languages in the world, and there are thousands of libraries written in it for you to use. Plus, it’s easy to learn, powerful enough to handle complicated projects, runs everywhere, is one of the most popular languages today (literally!), and allows you to get things done quickly with great code that’s readable.

In this course you will build several Python programs that investigate the attack surface like a subdomain scanner, directory scanner, port scanner and others. You will also use Python scripts that do SSH brute forcing and keyloggers.

If you are a beginner and interested in Python or Hacking, this course is for you. You don't need any prior knowledge to starting this course, not even of Python. It should be a lot of fun, so what are you waiting for?

Who this course is for:

Python developers that want to learn more about hacking
Hackers that want to learn more about Python
People that want to learn Python and Hacking
