Python is a popular scripting language with a wide range of useful features for many tasks. Notably, there are several security-focused Python modules with no equivalent in other languages. This presentation will provide an introduction to Python and its idioms, with mention of some “gotchas” that may surprise even people already familiar with one or more programming languages. Following that, we will discuss several useful security-related Python modules and how to use them.
