Python is an essential programming language for cyber security professionals to achieve various security check up tasks and assessments. The language is flexible and powerful, with available libraries for network programming, data management and even network scanning.
Many professionals use open source tools and frameworks which are developed in Python. In this 2-day course, cyber security professionals will understand the basics of Python programming such that they can develop their own tools or extend one’s module, integrate with the preferred APIs and export their favorite results for report or research purpose.
Course Objective
Enable cyber security professionals to start explore python programming such that they can develop or customise security tools and applications found in the open source community, carry out more substantial testing, fuzzing and threat intelligence collection.
