Python for hackers

Hello you

In this session within the GDSC, I’ll cover what we talked about. You can find all the resources mentioned during the session in this Google Drive: here

For those who missed the session, here’s a summary: I began by introducing Python and explaining its basics. Then, I explained essential web concepts such as status codes and HTTP request methods. We covered how to use the requests and syslibraries, setting the groundwork. Moving on, I presented some projects I’ve worked on.

We started with sherlock.pya tool to gather information about a user on various social media platforms like Reddit, Chess, and Medium. Next, I demonstrated how to create a custom wordlist using cewl.py. Then, we utilized this wordlist to attack a login page.

Additionally, I covered significant topics like the difference between false positives and false negatives. I emphasized the importance of learning by mimicking existing tools.

Thank you to everyone who attended the onsite session and those reading this article. I hope you gained some valuable insights. See you in the next sessions!
