Summary
This chapter focused on taking you through the basics of how the Python scripting language works and developing your own code by example. It also pointed out the common pitfalls related to creating scripts for assessments. The final section of this chapter focused on how to create useful scripts, even by simply piecing together components of already generated examples.
In the following chapter, we are going to dive even deeper into this subject with a proper reconnaissance of an environment, using nmap, scapy, and automation with Python.
