Python Basics for Hackers

This book is designed for those looking to enter cybersecurity with little or no coding background. To truly excel in cybersecurity, knowledge of Python is essential. Python is the scripting language of choice for hackers and cybersecurity professionals — in Kali Linux, for example, more than 90% of tools are developed in Python.

In this new volume, Master OTW applies the same clear, accessible approach that made Linux Basics for Hackers a trusted resource. Readers will work through the fundamentals of programming and key Python concepts, including variables, lists, dictionaries, loops, and more. All examples are drawn from real-world hacking and cybersecurity scenarios.

Estimated publication date: September 2025
