Hi guys.
I dont know anything about python but i heard its a good language for hackers and coz of that i decided to learn it so i have two question:

1. What do u thing about cbt nuggets python programming language Is it a good training package to buy?

2. After i learnt python can i write exploits using this language? Or i need to learn so exploitation technics?

Thanx alot.

ok man have u tried the cbt nuggets? I extremely wanna buy it

Learning Python The Hardway is a good place to start and it's free.  Also I think Google Code has a tutorial on Python. 

But like superkojiman said, it is a tool, usually its a method to prepare your exploit for delivery.  You create py scripts to maybe encode or obfuscate your exploit code.  Maybe have the script complete a series of other tasks for your exploit delivery.  Remember not all computers have python installed, and not all give you the ability to install it. 

Here's a video from Dave Kennedy did at BSidesCLE

He shows some usage of py scripts, SET, and even powershell to delivery a binary to a system for exploitation.

Enjoy

Another free resource that has some good Python tutorials:

I've looked at the free MIT videos, and Python The Hardway. I found the hardway stuff to be more helpful.

As stated by the others (and as we discussed when you pm'd me), I learned via the freebies and from books, on my own, while my son did the CBT route, for Python.

That said, as promised, I DID ask my son which one he was using.  He has CBT Nuggets' Python course, and DID get a lot from it.  However, he was devoted to it, pretty consistently, as other than a very basic Perl class he took, in school, he'd never done any other programming, at all.

He said that, had he had more time, he would've self-studied it, too, but since programming in his Perl class seemed to come easily for him, he figured he might get through some basic 'instructed / mentored' lessons and get up to speed more quickly.

Definitely seemed positive, for him.  But if $$ is an issue, perhaps do like chrisj suggested (bet someone), as a cheaper, and more motivational alternative.

There are lots free website that have material on for python. I would say do the basic free stuff so learn loops,ifs,  so on then do securitytube python course.

Do you have a direct link for that?

Other than a couple of course samples best I can find is the promotional pricing of $250 for course + cert.

Still looks (and sounds, from those I know working through it) to be well worth the price, but if there's a (legit) free avenue to the material I'd be a fool to part with my cash....
