20 September 2024 Workshops

Scripting and Coding for Penetration Testing

The workshop introduces scripting for beginner and intermediate level hackers. It will concentrate on using bash and Python to chain together multiple tools. We'll look at running tools and parsing the output, with a few example scripts, before moving on to reading Nmap output to locate exploitable devices and automatically exploiting them with the MSF API. After the session, attendees should have enough information to write reusable scripts for their testing needs and be able to save themselves a large amount of time on future tests.
