Beginners wanting to learn ethical hacking alongside a modular object oriented programming language.

Review

“This book has an interesting premise–it offers to teach one how to accomplish ethical hacking tasks using Python. … Under this guise, the book gives a good introduction to using the Python programming language’s general features and spends the bulk of its pages teaching Python … . This book falls into the introductory category for the Python programming language; therefore, it is well suited for individuals new to the language. Summing Up: Recommended. All readers.” (F. H.
