Table of Contents
Preface

Welcome to learning Python web penetration testing!

In this book, we'll learn the penetration testing process and see how to write our own tools.

You will leverage the simplicity of Python and available libraries to build your own web application security testing tools. The goal of this book is to show you how you can use Python to automate most of the web application penetration testing activities.

I hope you now have a complete grip of what's to come, and that you're as excited as I am.

So then, let's get started on this wonderful journey.

Who this book is for

If you are a web developer who wants to step into the web application security testing world, this book will provide you with the knowledge you need in no time! Familiarity with Python is essential, but not to an expert level.
