Even if you have never programmed before, you can quickly and easily learn how to make custom hacking tools in Python. The presenters build tools that perform port scanning, brute-force attacks, crack password hashes, and attack various encryption methods including one-time pads. Python is very popular for good reason: it’s the easiest language to use for general purposes. This workshop is structured as a CTF (Capture The Flag), so each participant can proceed at their own pace. The techniques will be briefly demonstrated, and tips and help will be provided as needed to make sure everyone is able to solve at least some of the challenges. All materials are freely available and will remain so after the workshop.
