Python: Penetration Testing for Developers

Summary

Parsing nmap XML is extremely useful, but consider how helpful this capability is for reading and organizing other security tool outputs as well. We showed you how to create Python classes, parse XML structures, and generate unique datasets. By the end of all of this, we were able to create an Excel spreadsheet that can represent data in a filterable format. In the next chapter, we will highlight how to add multithreading capabilities and permanency to our Python scripts.
