PenTest+ – Basic Scripting
-
Penetration testers frequently find themselves running the same commands and tools or going through the same processes. In certain environments, those tools might not be available to use or install. Scripting languages are a time and resource-effective solution for both these problems. They allow quick and straightforward automation of mundane tasks that can help save considerable amounts of time. They also provide numerous libraries to communicate with different protocols, operating systems, and programs. This versatility aids in constructing new tools or creating versions of the already existing ones when the testing environment makes it impossible to access themThis lab covers scripting using Python and Bash. It aims to provide an insight into the benefits of task automation by explaining:● Basic Scripting○ Handling user input○ Iterations○ Logical branching● Automation● Creating pentesting tools and utilities
