Stop using automated testing tools. Customize and write your own tests
with Python! While there are an increasing number of sophisticated
ready-made tools to scan systems for vulnerabilities, Python allows
testers to write system-specific scriptsΓÇöor alter and extend existing
testing toolsΓÇöto find, exploit, and record as many security weaknesses
as possible. This course will give you the necessary skills to write
custom tools for different scenarios and modify existing Python tools to
suit your application's needs.

Christian Martorella starts off by providing an overview of the web
application penetration testing process and the tools the professionals
use to perform these tests. Next he shows how to interact with web
applications using Python, HTTP, and the Requests library. Then follow the
web application penetration testing methodology. Each section contains
practical Python examples. To finish off, Christian shows how to use the
tools against a vulnerable web application created specifically for this
course.
