In this comprehensive guide, Microsoft Certified Trainer László Bocsó takes you on a journey from basic concepts to advanced techniques, providing a hands-on approach to learning ethical hacking.

In the rapidly evolving world of cybersecurity, ethical hacking has emerged as a critical practice for identifying and mitigating security vulnerabilities before malicious actors can exploit them. As cyber threats continue to grow in both complexity and frequency, the need for skilled professionals who can think like hackers—but act with integrity—has never been greater. Ethical hacking, also known as penetration testing, is a proactive approach to securing systems, networks, and applications by uncovering potential weaknesses before they can be exploited.

This book, "Ethical Hacking with Python: A Practical Guide," is designed to equip you with the knowledge and skills necessary to become an effective ethical hacker using Python, one of the most powerful and versatile programming languages available today. Python's simplicity, combined with its extensive library support, makes it an ideal choice for security professionals who need to write scripts, automate tasks, and develop custom tools for penetration testing.

The idea for this book was born out of a recognition that while there are many resources available on ethical hacking, few focus specifically on using Python as a primary tool. Moreover, many available resources are either too theoretical or too focused on advanced topics, leaving beginners and intermediate learners without a clear, practical path to mastery. This book aims to fill that gap by providing a comprehensive, hands-on guide to ethical hacking with Python, from basic concepts to advanced techniques

Key Features:

Learn to think like a hacker while maintaining ethical standards
Master Python programming for cybersecurity tasks
Explore real-world hacking techniques with step-by-step guidance
Discover how to build custom tools for penetration testing
Gain insights into malware analysis and reverse engineering
Understand the legal and ethical boundaries of hacking

This book covers a wide range of topics, including:

• Setting up your hacking lab
