Why Python for Penetration Testing?
Python has become the “Swiss Army Knife” of the security world. Its clear syntax, massive library support (like Scapy, Requests, and BeautifulSoup), and ease of integration make it the go-to language for building custom tools quickly. In an industry where speed and customization are paramount, Python remains an indispensable skill.
