[Autogenerated] Hello everyone and welcome to system services and activity
monitoring with Python My name is Sean Wilkins and this is the acquiring
server information with python module I'd like to welcome you to this course
and module as we are going to start from where we dropped off in the network
activity and packet analysis with python course and move our coverage from
the copy module and network centric modules And on to talking about how
python can be used to collect information from a variety of different
sources.
This will include everything from collecting local server
information to querying remote servers like those running my SQL
and DNS to monitoring for specific processes on a device for
abnormal behavior for this module.
Specifically we will be focusing on the collection of
server information both locally and remotely using a few
different common python modules.
The goal is to collect this information to help you in
your job as a network security engineer and to help you
know this specific environment.
So with this in mind let's get into the specifics of this module.
This module is split into six different sections.
First we will set the stage for this course and introduce you the
learner as a new network security engineer for Globomantics and how
in this position you can utilize the different concepts covered
throughout the course to both increase your knowledge and help
Globomantics meet their goals.
Next we will go through a quick review of the learning environment we are going
to be using in our demonstrations and how it can be set up.
We then begin talking about the different methods that we can
use with python to collect server information.
This is split into the remaining four sections.
The 3rd and 4th sections will focus on the collection of information
from a local server from the perspective of someone with local
accessor we then move into a section where we detail how this can be
done in our demonstration environment.
In the fifth and six sections,
we shift over to talking about the methods that can be used
to remotely collect information for this,
we will again move into our demonstration environment to
show how this can be completed first hand.
So now with all this out of the way, let's get started.
