Learning Python for Cybersecurity

I have recently been messing around with Python, creating some little "security projects." In this video, I talk about the three reasons why you should learn python for cybersecurity, when you should learn, and which resources you should use to learn. Description of each reason below

Why should I learn Python?
Reason #1: It's relatively easy
Reason #2: Modules and Extensive Library Access
Reason #3: Automation & Versatility

When should I learn Python?

Whenever you have the time to learn. Set aside a few hours to learn the python basics and then move on to some "security-focused" projects after touching the basics. Make sure to complete any project before you learn python. Give the fundamentals your full attention.

Where should I learn Python?
For the python basics, I recommend looking up "free python 3 learning resources" and choosing one resource to learn from. Finish this resource until you are complete and then you can move into the cybersecurity projects. For security, I recommend two resources which are linked below.

I am 50, learning python (for automating some cybersec functions), and I agree - never too late to learn it.

Extra resources for beginners and those in Cyber Security. Automate the boring things with Python (book 1) and Violent Python: A Cookbook for Hackers, Forensic Analysts, Penetration Testers, and Security Engineers (book 2)

Keep up this production quality. Loved the video.

The course on python and ethical hacking is a huge win. My man. Subhanallah. Was looking for exactly that.

Can you show the current setup of yours and how you have connected them...
Previous one showed only the equipments you have in your setup..
Make a video on this man..!!

I got that book today! And I was honestly wondering if it was a good book or not and when I watched this video and you recommended it was kind of asserted that it is .. awesome man!

[omareldanasoury]

The way you introduce the information with is Fantastic and funny😂❤ keep it up👋👌🌸

[hades]

C++ and Python, which would be better option for cybersecurity? Which language is mostly used in that field?

[Eidenbites]

I started with Cisco networking, and Linux.. when I got into programming I didn’t understand anything. Until I learned python 🐍 for scripting. They all go hand in hand.

Hi.. thanks..for the awesome guidance 💛💛 from Malaysia

I’m a student of Ethical Hacking & Cybersecurity (undergrad) in the U.K., and the ONLY language I personally use (at least 90%) of the time is Haskell. And for writing probably secure applications, nothing even comes close to Haskell.

Do you think Python is more useful than Java for Cyber Security? I am currently learning Java!

I’m learning python now, I be brain dead sometimes lol

[jayseaable]

Sweet bro. I know that there are a lot of free python resources, but it seems confusing when you don’t know how to apply it. Like are python projects for beginners step by step in case you get stuck?? I will look into the resources you listed.

Like for "Hello world' automation :D

[softwareandhacking]

lisent bro I am student of software
but I ask some things
at a time can I learned the software development and cyber security
