Make your applications attack-proof by penetration testing with Python.With the huge growth in the number of web applications in the recent times, there has also been an upsurge in the need to make these applications secure. Web penetration testing is the use of tools and code to attack a website or web app in order to assess its vulnerabilities to external threats. While there are an increasing number of sophisticated ready-made tools to scan systems for vulnerabilities, the use of Python allows testers to write system-specific scripts, or alter and extend existing testing tools to find, exploit, and record as many security weaknesses as possible.This course will walk you through the web application penetration testing methodology, showing you how to write your own tools with Python for every main activity in the process. It will show you how to test for security vulnerabilities in web applications just like security professionals and hackers do.The course starts off by providing an overview of the web application penetration testing process and the tools used by professionals to perform these tests. Then we provide an introduction to HTTP and how to interact with web applications using Python and the Requests library. Then will follow the web application penetration testing methodology and cover each section with a supporting Python example. To finish off, we test these tools against a vulnerable web application created specifically for this course.Stop just running automated tools—write your own and modify existing ones to cover your needs! This course will give you a flying start as a security professional by giving you the necessary skills to write custom tools for different scenarios and modify existing Python tools to suit your application’s needs.About The Author

Learning Python Web Penetration Testing 4 lectures 26:22 The Course Overview This video provides an overview of the entire course. Understanding Web Application Penetration Testing Process You will learn about the web app penetration-testing methodology, the toolset, and our lab environment.
  • Introduce web application penetration testing with the security of the application and methodology in performing such tests
  • Learn about the tools most commonly used by professional pentesters
  • Take a look at our lab environment
Typical Web Application Toolkit You will learn about the traditional tools used by security professionals to perform penetration tests. This will provide a basic understanding of the most important type of tools used, and give us ideas on what we can build with Python.
  • Introduce HTTP proxies, the most important tool of the set.
  • Learn about Web Crawlers/ Spiders, Scanners, and brute forcers.
  • Explore tools specifics for certain tasks or scenarios
Testing Environment We need to set up the testing environment and we would use VirtualBox, VM, text editor, and the vulnerable Web application we are going to use as target of our tests.
  • Install VirtualBox to run our Lab VM
  • Access the testing application
  • Finally we are going to see the text editor and an important warning
