Content Introduction "Python Gray Hat" is a book written by Justin Seitz, a senior black hat at the well-known security agency Immunity Inc., about how the programming language Python is widely used in the field of hacking and reverse engineering.

Dave Aitel, a veteran hacker and founder and chief technology officer (CTO) of Immunity Inc, served as the technical editor for this book.

Most of the book focuses on two enduring topics in the field of hacking technology: reverse engineering and vulnerability discovery, and presents readers with various problems that almost every reverse engineer or security researcher faces in their daily work.

Scenarios, including: how to design and build your own debugging tools, how to automate tedious reverse analysis tasks, how to design and build your own fuzzing tools, how to use fuzzing testing to find security vulnerabilities in software products, some small

Techniques such as the application of hooks and injection techniques, as well as in-depth introductions to some mainstream Python security tools such as PyDbg, Immunity Debugger, Sulley, IDAPython, PyEmu, etc.

The author uses Python, a popular programming language in the hacker community today, to lead readers to build sophisticated scripts to deal with the above problems one by one.

A considerable part of the Python code examples that appear in the book draw on or directly come from some excellent open source security projects, such as Pedram Amini's Paimei. From this, readers can appreciate how security researchers elegantly integrate the art of hacking and engineering technology to solve problems.

Those tough questions.
