Welcome to Pluralsight.
My name is Sean Wilkins, and I am a network engineer,
author, and technical editor at infoDispersion.
I'm excited to welcome you to my course,
Network Activity and Packet Analysis with Python.
This course is one of many courses that are being placed
into the Pluralsight library to focus on Python's use in a
network security environment.
This course specifically is targeted at Python's Scapy module and how it can
be used to perform a number of different common tasks,
as well as be part of a larger networking application.
The modules that we will cover will include the
performing of packet‑sniffing actions, packet manipulation,
port scanning and traceroute, detecting brute force attacks,
performing connection hijacking, as well as demonstrating network traffic replay.
By the end of this course,
you have a firm base of understanding how Python and Scapy can
be used to create network security tool.
I hope you'll join me on this journey to learn about Python
network security concept with the Network Activity and
Packet Analysis with Python course, at Pluralsight.
