Violent Python : a cookbook for hackers, forensic analysts, penetration testers, and security engineers

Violent Python shows you how to move from a theoretical understanding of offensive computing concepts to a practical implementation. Instead of relying on another attacker's tools, this book will teach you to forge your own weapons using the Python programming language. This book demonstrates h...
