Python for Hacking: A Hands-On Workshop

Python is everywhere in security—from quick automation scripts to full-blown exploitation and analysis tools. This two-part, hands-on workshop is designed to teach Python the way hackers actually use it.

Rather than starting from abstract programming theory, the class focuses on reading, modifying, and writing scripts that solve real security problems. You’ll learn how Python fits into hacking workflows and how to adapt existing code to your own needs.

This session covers core Python concepts through a security lens, focusing on scripting fundamentals, working with files and processes, and understanding common hacking scripts. It then builds on that foundation with applied topics like network scripting, automation, data parsing, and interacting with tools and APIs.

This three hour class emphasizes experimentation, problem-solving, and practical understanding.Ideal for aspiring ethical hackers, security students, developers, and anyone curious about how Python is used in real-world security work.
