00:00:00,090 --> 00:00:02,370
Welcome to this module on Python.

2
00:00:02,430 --> 00:00:08,910
So if you've never used Python before or even heard of Python before Python is a coding and scripting

3
00:00:08,910 --> 00:00:16,080
language it is commonly used in ethical hacking and it's commonly used all around the world it is actually

4
00:00:16,080 --> 00:00:19,230
considered one of the best beginner languages to start with.

5
00:00:19,230 --> 00:00:23,640
If you've never learned coding before so that's exactly what we're going to do.

6
00:00:23,640 --> 00:00:30,090
We're going to cover some of the basics of Python so we'll cover everything you see on this screen here.

7
00:00:30,090 --> 00:00:32,960
Strings math functions.

8
00:00:33,060 --> 00:00:36,160
We're going to get into conditional statements and looping.

9
00:00:36,240 --> 00:00:42,060
We'll get into some more advanced items and eventually we're going to build our own tools.

10
00:00:42,090 --> 00:00:46,200
So we're going to be building a port scanner at the end of the lesson.

11
00:00:46,470 --> 00:00:51,870
And then when we get into the exploit development section of this course we're going to use Python again

12
00:00:52,110 --> 00:00:53,840
to write our own exploits.

13
00:00:53,850 --> 00:01:00,300
So it's going to be used throughout the course you're going to see it again as a ethical hacker as well.

14
00:01:00,300 --> 00:01:05,760
You're going to go onto Web sites and you might need to download Python code or something to utilize

15
00:01:05,760 --> 00:01:08,340
against a host or a client.

16
00:01:08,640 --> 00:01:11,370
And it's just going to be frequently seen for you.

17
00:01:11,400 --> 00:01:19,080
So very important topic to cover especially for the foundations one very big thing to point out you

18
00:01:19,080 --> 00:01:24,380
do not have to be a developer to be successful in penetration testing.

19
00:01:24,390 --> 00:01:29,100
The important thing is that you understand what you're seeing and understand how to read code.

20
00:01:29,610 --> 00:01:35,640
If when you come away from this module you have a better understanding on how to read what you are seeing

21
00:01:36,000 --> 00:01:36,990
in code.

22
00:01:36,990 --> 00:01:40,840
You'll be much better off by no means you have to be a developer.

23
00:01:40,920 --> 00:01:47,090
I am still to this day nowhere near a developer level and I'm very very successful in what I do.

24
00:01:47,100 --> 00:01:49,100
You don't have to be a developer.

25
00:01:49,200 --> 00:01:54,000
So the big takeaway here is to take very good notes understand what you're seeing.

26
00:01:54,030 --> 00:01:58,380
If you need to watch a video multiple times in this section absolutely OK.

27
00:01:58,620 --> 00:02:04,080
Just make sure you understand everything in front of you and understand that the lessons are going to

28
00:02:04,080 --> 00:02:05,240
build upon each other.

29
00:02:05,240 --> 00:02:09,390
And it should all come together in the end and you're gonna get to see it over and over through the

30
00:02:09,390 --> 00:02:13,530
course especially in the expert development section where we write our own python script.

31
00:02:13,530 --> 00:02:18,620
So I look forward to teaching you this module on Python and look forward to see you in the next video.
