Scripting languages can be used by penetration testers to help automate the execution of common tasks and increase the depth and scope of testing coverage. In this course, you'll learn the basic concepts of scripting and software development. Explore logic constructs concepts such as loops and conditionals, as well as the following operators; Boolean, string, and arithmetic. Discover other basic concepts of scripting including data structures, libraries, classes, procedures, and functions. You then explore how to analyze a script or code sample for use in a penetration test. Discover shells, programming languages, and exploit codes, and learn how to identify opportunities for automation. This course is one of a collection that helps prepare learners for the CompTIA PenTest+ (PT0-002) certification exam.
