Welcome to this module on Python.
So if you've never used Python before or even heard of Python before Python is a coding and scripting
language it is commonly used in ethical hacking and it's commonly used all around the world it is actually
considered one of the best beginner languages to start with.
If you've never learned coding before so that's exactly what we're going to do.
We're going to cover some of the basics of Python so we'll cover everything you see on this screen here.
Strings math functions.
We're going to get into conditional statements and looping.
We'll get into some more advanced items and eventually we're going to build our own tools.
So we're going to be building a port scanner at the end of the lesson.
And then when we get into the exploit development section of this course we're going to use Python again
to write our own exploits.
So it's going to be used throughout the course you're going to see it again as a ethical hacker as well.
You're going to go onto Web sites and you might need to download Python code or something to utilize
against a host or a client.
And it's just going to be frequently seen for you.
So very important topic to cover especially for the foundations one very big thing to point out you
do not have to be a developer to be successful in penetration testing.
The important thing is that you understand what you're seeing and understand how to read code.
If when you come away from this module you have a better understanding on how to read what you are seeing
in code.
You'll be much better off by no means you have to be a developer.
I am still to this day nowhere near a developer level and I'm very very successful in what I do.
You don't have to be a developer.
So the big takeaway here is to take very good notes understand what you're seeing.
If you need to watch a video multiple times in this section absolutely OK.
Just make sure you understand everything in front of you and understand that the lessons are going to
build upon each other.
And it should all come together in the end and you're gonna get to see it over and over through the
course especially in the expert development section where we write our own python script.
So I look forward to teaching you this module on Python and look forward to see you in the next video.
