Python is fast becoming the programming language of choice for hackers, reverse engineers, and software testers because it's easy to write quickly, and it has the low-level support and libraries that make hackers happy. But until now, there has been no real manual on how to use Python for a variety of hacking tasks. You had to dig through forum posts and man pages, endlessly tweaking your own code to get everything working. Not anymore.
Gray Hat Python explains the concepts behind hacking tools and techniques like debuggers, trojans, fuzzers, and emulators. But author Justin Seitz goes beyond theory, showing you how to harness existing Python-based security tools - and how to build your own when the pre-built ones won't cut it.
You'll learn how to:
- Automate tedious reversing and security tasks
- Design and program your own debugger
- Learn how to fuzz Windows drivers and create powerful fuzzers from scratch
- Have fun with code and library injection, soft and hard hooking techniques, and other software trickery
- Sniff secure traffic out of an encrypted web browser session
- Use PyDBG, Immunity Debugger, Sulley, IDAPython, PyEMU, and more
The world's best hackers are using Python to do their handiwork. Shouldn't you?

Free Gray Hat Python: Python Programming for Hackers and Reverse Engineers
I was extremely disappointed in this book. I had been waiting almost a year for the book to be released and in that time had spent time looking at the different applications that were currently written in Python that could possible be included. With the time spent in writing this book and bringing it into publication the poor quality of the book does not compare to the higher standards that most No Starch Press books have achieved.
While there were a few merits in the book the majority of the book was a futile attempt to put outdated or useless information to paper. Many of my coworkers were very interested in the publication, but having read it and having spoken with my collegues that have read it we can all agree that it falls well short of anticipation.
The first five chapters were about Immunity Debugger. While reading them it seemed as if it were a sales pitch and then after reading that the author was employed by the same company that produces Immunity it was plainly obvious that he was influenced.
The author spent a chapter on hooking(6), DLL and code injection(7), fuzzing(8), Sulley(9), Fuzzing Windows Drivers(10), IDAPython(11), PyEMU(12) and obviously the Immunity Debugger chapters that were 1 through 5. But where was the rest? It was obviously lacking in many areas. There was very little mentioned on networks, packet reassembly or capture (pynids). No mention was made of Scapy, Pcapy, Impacket, Inguma, Volatility and so many more. Libraries that would be extremely helpful were never even brushed. IronPython, Win32, CryptoPy,
The examples given were poor to say the least. The author never mentioned which versions of python that the examples worked with and they were built using the older releases.
I have to start off by saying that I've been looking forward to this book being published for months now. Since it initially popped up on the No Starch website I've been following it and nagging the publishers about it's release. I was fortunate enough to get a copy last Friday and I dove into it full force, even my final exam suffered because I was a little too focused on this book. I have mixed feelings about the book overall, there was definitely a few things I gained from it. On the other hand, there were many more things that could have been added. If you are new to Reverse Engineering then you will most likely obtain a leap of knowledge from the book. Packed with code examples on various open source tools and concepts to create your own, you'll be waste deep in python for a while. If you've been around for the last few years and have already checked out many of the open source tools discussed in the book you may only get a few things out of it.
Justin does a great job elaborating through the the code examples used throughout the book. The sheer scope of this book makes it difficult to cover everything but Justin definitely attempts to give you a taste for the more common scenarios you may find yourself in. Below I highlight a few chapters that I found interesting and useful. Overall the entire book is useful but a large portion covers open source tools that have a plethora of documentation and examples in existence.
Chapter 3 is just downright awesome. This chapter walks you through creating your own python based debugger that is similar to pydbg. Between the concepts and actual implementation you obtain a solid understanding of what is going on in a Windows based debugger.
Chapter 6 goes over Hooking in 5 pages.
