Achieve improved network programmability and automation by leveraging powerful network programming concepts, algorithms, and toolsKey FeaturesDeal with remote network servers using SSH, FTP, SNMP and LDAP protocols.Design multi threaded and event-driven architectures for asynchronous servers programming.Leverage your Python programming skills to build powerful network applicationsBook DescriptionNetwork programming has always been a demanding task. With full-featured and well-documented libraries all the way up the stack, Python makes network programming the enjoyable experience it should be.Starting with a walk through of today's major networking protocols, through this book, you'll learn how to employ Python for network programming, how to request and retrieve web resources, and how to extract data in major formats over the web. You will utilize Python for emailing using different protocols, and you'll interact with remote systems and IP and DNS networking. You will cover the connection of networking devices and configuration using Python 3.7, along with cloud-based network management tasks using Python.As the book progresses, socket programming will be covered, followed by how to design servers, and the pros and cons of multithreaded and event-driven architectures. You'll develop practical clientside applications, including web API clients, email clients, SSH, and FTP. These applications will also be implemented through existing web application frameworks.What you will learnExecute Python modules on networking toolsAutomate tasks regarding the analysis and extraction of information from a networkGet to grips with asynchronous programming modules available in PythonGet to grips with IP address manipulation modules using Python programmingUnderstand the main frameworks available in Python that are focused on web applicationManipulate IP addresses and perform CIDR calculationsWho this book is forIf you're a Python developer or a system administrator with Python experience and you're looking to take your first steps in network programming, then this book is for you. If you're a network engineer or a network professional aiming to be more productive and efficient in networking programmability and automation then this book would serve as a useful resource. Basic knowledge of Python is assumed.

Gain a firm, practical understanding of securing your network and utilize Python's packages to detect vulnerabilities in your applicationKey FeaturesDiscover security techniques to protect your network and systems using PythonCreate scripts in Python to automate security and pentesting tasksAnalyze traffic in a network and extract information using PythonBook DescriptionPython’s latest updates add numerous libraries that can be used to perform critical security-related missions, including detecting vulnerabilities in web applications, taking care of attacks, and helping to build secure and robust networks that are resilient to them. This fully updated third edition will show you how to make the most of them and improve your security posture.The first part of this book will walk you through Python scripts and libraries that you’ll use throughout the book. Next, you’ll dive deep into the core networking tasks where you will learn how to check a network’s vulnerability using Python security scripting and understand how to check for vulnerabilities in your network – including tasks related to packet sniffing. You’ll also learn how to achieve endpoint protection by leveraging Python packages along with writing forensics scripts.The next part of the book will show you a variety of modern techniques, libraries, and frameworks from the Python ecosystem that will help you extract data from servers and analyze the security in web applications. You’ll take your first steps in extracting data from a domain using OSINT tools and using Python tools to perform forensics tasks.By the end of this book, you will be able to make the most of Python to test the security of your network and applications.What you will learnProgram your own tools in Python that can be used in a Network Security processAutomate tasks of analysis and extraction of information from serversDetect server vulnerabilities and analyze security in web applicationsAutomate security and pentesting tasks by creating scripts with PythonUtilize the ssh-audit tool to check the security in SSH serversExplore WriteHat as a pentesting reports tool written in PythonAutomate the process of detecting vulnerabilities in applications with tools like FuxploiderWho this book is forThis Python book is for network engineers, system administrators, and other security professionals looking to overcome common networking and security issues using Python. You will also find this book useful if you're an experienced programmer looking to explore Python’s full range of capabilities. A basic understanding of general programming structures as well as familiarity with the Python programming language is a prerequisite.
