What can you do with python (Hacking)

Question

I really wanna know what you can do with python, like people say they can make "exploits" with python, but what do they really mean? thank you

Answer 1

" Remote Buffer Overflow Exploit with Python"

You are going to need:

     – Python 3.4

     – Internet Connection

     – A vulnerable server

     – Computer with Windows or Linux

Answer 2

what they mean is that if you find a vulnerability in a program, you can script together a tool to leverage the exploit.

vulnerability = something being handled wrong by a program

exploit = a way to trigger the vulnerability (ex: using a script to force the vulnerability to happen)

payload = some code or something that your exploit delivers to the vulnerable system.

people have a tendency to think hacking is more complicated than it is. its just using your programming ability in a different way to do different things to other software/hardware than what was intended.

python has become a hugely popular language because its very convenient and easy to get going with. it is however, associated with script kiddies as most kiddies don't use lower languages to do more complicated hacks (ex: forcing a processor to overclock to the point of burnout to effectively destroy the device running your hack::usually done with lower level languages like assembly or c/c++).

hope this helps narrow down what other people are talking about when you hear them going on.

happy hacking!
