NET161 — Scripting for Security
This module focuses on basic scripting using Python. It focuses on the basic constructs and useful commands such as conditional, looping, and logical constructs as well as variables and user and system interfaces. Students create basic scripts and have a foundation upon which to learn more advanced Python scripting. One of the exercises is to implement a simple file system scanner, so the students will practice scripting security applications and administrative scripts by invoking Linux commands through Python. Additional cyber security scripting will be explored.
