If you are involved in vulnerability research, reverse engineering or penetration testing, I suggest to try out the Python programming language. It has a rich set of useful libraries and programs. This page lists some of them. Most of the listed tools are written in Python, others are just Python bindings for existing C libraries, i.e. they make those libraries …

How to sort a list of strings that represent IP addresses? Of course, you could supply an appropriate comparison function to the sort() method of the list object, but that’s very inefficient (read: slow). It is better to first pre-process the list so it can be sorted with the efficient built-in comparison function (which simply compares strings character-by-character), and afterwards …

The following are just a collection of some useful shortcuts and tools I’ve found in Python over the years. Hopefully you find them helpful. Swapping Variables 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 x = 6 y = 5 x, y = y, x print x >>> 5 print y >>> 6 Inline if Statement 1 2 print “Hello” …

An interesting article about Python. Python’s simple, easy-to-learn syntax can mislead Python developers — especially those who are newer to the language — into missing some of its subtleties and underestimating the power of the language. This is a list of somewhat subtle, harder-to-catch mistakes that can trip up even the most advanced Python developer. Read more following the link …
