Preface

Python is a dynamic but interpreted language, which comes under high-level programming languages. With its clear syntax and an extensive library, it is used as a general-purpose language. Based on Python's interpreted nature, it's often considered as a scripting language. Python is dominant in information security as it's less complex and possesses limitless libraries and third-party modules. Security experts have preferred Python as a language to develop information security toolkits such as w3af, sqlmap, and many more. Python's modular design, which help to reuse the code and code readability, make Python suites the preferred choice for security researchers and experts to write scripts and build tools for security testing.
