Description
The Python 201 for Hackers course builds upon the Python 101 for Hackers course by moving beyond the basics. You will learn more advanced programming concepts and techniques, with a focus on how to use and apply Python as a Windows hacking tool.
Prior Python programming knowledge is required to be successful in this course. The Python 201 for Hackers course content will not cover or explain introductory Python concepts or techniques.
Students should take this Python 201 for Hackers course if they are interested in:
Understanding more advanced Python programming concepts such as decorators, generators, serialization and closures
Learning how to identify and use Object Oriented Programming techniques and approaches within their Python scripts
Building upon introductory Python 101 concepts and applying knowledge to create practical Windows hacking applications such as keyloggers, encrypted bind shells and process injectors
The following concepts will be taught in this course:
Object Oriented Programming core concepts and Python implementations including classes, objects, methods, inheritance, encapsulation, polymorphism, operator overloading and class decorators
How to work with and debug lower level languages (including C and assembly) and data types from within Python to interface with the official Windows API, the undocumented Windows API and the kernel via direct system calls
Building upon standard Python functionality and leveraging modules to perform web scraping, port scanning, threading, cryptography, direct executable conversion and process creation
How to leverage Python to extend Burp and create custom extensions, directly inject a DLL in
