Rating: ★★★★☆ (4 of 5 stars)
The Book ‘Blackhat Python (2nd edition)’ is a great resource for getting into Python from an offensive perspective.
The book is well structured and even suitable for Python newbies like I am. As expected, a lot of code is presented in the book and the key elements of the code are explained in more detail. Additionally some tips and tricks for the implementation in Python are provided. The source code used in the book is completely available and can be downloaded for doing the exercises or testing out new things, which is awesome.
Due to the fact that the book is only around 200 pages, the content is just superficially dealing with the topics. Depending of what you search for this can be beneficial, but sadly it wasn´t for me. Basically all offensive topics were already familiar to me, so it was “just” interesting how to implement these topics in Python.
I somehow hoped for more sophisticated topics and topics that were new to me. Most probably my expectations do not match with any book called “Blackhat <some programming language>”. Due to my unmatched expectations I rated the book 4 out of 5 stars.
