Mastering Cybersecurity using Python
Mastering Cybersecurity using Python (Volume 1): A Comprehensive Guide! This book will taken you on a journey through the foundational aspects of cybersecurity, from understanding threats and frameworks to hands-on Python scripting for network scanning, cryptography, web security, and cybercrime analysis. You will explore tools like Scapy, BeautifulSoup, and Selenium, and delved into legal frameworks like the IT Act, 2000, and the MITRE ATT&CK framework.Structured into 11 chapters, the book progresses from fundamentals to advanced techniques, with real-world examples, legal insights, and ethical considerations.
Key ThemesFoundations of Cybersecurity
Explores core principles (CIA triad, threat modeling) and Python’s role in security automation.
Covers cybercrime classifications (phishing, ransomware) and frameworks (MITRE ATT&CK, NIST).
Offensive Security with Python
Network Uses Scapy for packet manipulation, DNS reconnaissance, and vulnerability detection.
Web Automates SQLi/XSS testing with requests and BeautifulSoup, and dynamic content analysis with Selenium.
Defensive Techniques
Implements AES, RSA, and hashing (SHA-256) for data protection.
Threat Strategies for malware, DDoS attacks, and insider threats.
Legal & Ethical Dimensions
Analyzes cyber laws (IT Act 2000, Indian Evidence Act) and admissibility of electronic evidence.
Discusses cybercrime trends (identity theft, cyberterrorism) and countermeasures.
Tools & Methods
Covers proxy servers, password cracking, keyloggers, and forensic tools with Python scripts.
Pedagogical FeaturesFun Fact Engaging trivia (e.g., "The first virus, Creeper, appeared in 1971").
Real-World Code From port scanning to encrypting files.
Case Legal precedents and attack simulations (e.g., session hijacking).
Target Audience Clear explanations of terms like "firewall" or "hashing."
Ready-to-use Python scripts for penetration testing.
Legal Primer on cyber law and digital evidence.
What Sets It ApartBalanced Merges theory (frameworks) with practice (Python automation).
Regional Focus on Indian cyber laws alongside global standards.
Ethical Emphasizes responsible hacking and compliance.
