Here's Why Python is Used in Cybersecurity

[@MrArtee99]

WHY: 1. Easy to learn and use 2. Its swiftness (ability to quickly develop programs with high functionality) 3. Python is widely used (more documentation, more support) 4. There is an extensive number of libraries and modules available for Python 5. Python is productive and speedy (it's pretty straightforward and reusable) you're welcome :)

[@animanoir]

Thanks. I really think KZbin should have an included feature where the uploader writes briefly this type of stuff since the whole video is boring as fuck.

[@afonsohipolito6983]

@@animanoir Come on, respect the guy, he wasted time and resources making this video so people could be more aware of the utility of python and it's usage in the security area, the least you could do is just go and read the description where he writes exactly the topics that he is going to approach in the video.

[@animanoir]

@@afonsohipolito6983 ok, yep didnt read the description. Though I still think this kind of vlogs are really innecesary.

[@duncansiror5033]

@@animanoir Then why did you watch..?

[@reziiwastaken]

Underrated channel.

[@Artificial_Intelligence_AI]

Python is everything!!! Python is web development, python is robotics, python is data science and data analysis, python is Blockchain, python is security etc... for me this language is the most important technology ever made

[@duncansiror5033]

Web programming is more so Javascript

[@edodaleno8692]

I love this channel, it's so easy to understand even the most difficult part on infosec.

[@hewfrebie2597]

Python is not the only one... there is another language is not new but still it is going to be successful in the future, wonder what that is? It's Go programming language developed by google and better than Java to be honest, and has a C-like syntax. Also there is a go book called Black Hat Go for pentesters which is still new... if you're curious, go check it out, also I'm a Software Engineer first year student from Bahrain in the middle east saying hello to your channel. Keep up the good work.

[@RorretsNet]

The mascot always gets me.

[@jackbarry8847]

Actually, the other most successful language for cybersecurity is C/C++, which let you develop very low-level exploits and scripts. There's lots of documentation for them, and compared to Go, they have decades of use.

[@hewfrebie2597]

I'm talking about a high level programming language...

[@ChumX100]

Go is not comparable to Python. It is statically typed (vs. dynamic), compiled (vs. interprered) and it was developed specifically for use in cloud systems (multi-core, networked) as opposed to Python that is multi-purpose in nature. That is why you won't find much overlapping between their major libraries and use-cases. But yes, Golang will grow (powered by the explosion of cloud computing).

[@STEFFIGEORGE-tw8wz]

Thanks for the course links!

[@DanielDybing]

I just discovered your channel a few days ago but I already love it. There's lots of relevant and interesting content, and you present it in a direct, honest and easily understandable way. Keep up the good work!

Literally a newbie to code just trying to get my Windows 10 started with native programs to start code ,a whole new world and i feel totally out of my comfort zone,I like that feeling thx for your vlogs

[@sidshinde9907]

long story short it's easy, fast and efficient haha good vid brah

[@collinsinfosec]

Should I have just made a 10 second video that said that.? Haha! Thank you for the comment and kind regards! Hope all is well with you.

[@codewithlek9134]

Your channel is finally getting the attention it needs, keep it up

[@vamscape]

I didn't know that Python is a swift language

[@lukemeissner1741]

At least it's not Swift :P

[@okiegrown374]

It’s not a Swift language. It’s not at all related to iOS/Apple.

[@shaikhshafeen]

A great video with organized talks. A very few amount of youtubers are like you. Keep it up bro!

[@joeylaflamme8855]

Good but don't focus on your mistakes while presenting. We know about them, you don't need to spell it out. Just keep going if you notice that you do something wrong, just go along and pay attention and try not to do it again.

[@rlogan83]

Thank you. This channel is a big part of my daily journey this semester.

You and me both sir

[@EmersonSalmeron]

Just found you and subscribed! Great vid man keep it up

[@poseidonselfridge2221]

Python isn't fast. Its fast to code in, but its actually slow compared to other languages because its higher up from the hardware than languages like C, assembly, C++. I would also go as far as saying it has its limitations in scalability, where as other languages don't. If you want a fast and scalable language, don't pick Python. It's easy to learn because its syntax is easily readable to the human eye, it's also good for rapid development because it does a lot under the hood for you, but other than that it doesn't have many positive areas when comparing it to other languages. It's actually a bad choice if you really want to learn programming in depth and what goes on under the hood.

[@collinsinfosec]

I do agree with you on this to some extent for sure.

[@HussainAkbar]

Still haven't found any piece that gives any objective reasons. Words like "widely used", "pretty" & "easy" may as well be describing detergent. Libraries? Java has libraries. My first language was Fortran.

[@collinsinfosec]

Ok.

[@Computerix]

Subscribed. My firsy programming language was c++, this semester I'm learning python and so far so good so much easier, especially after a much harder language like c++.. How long have you been in univ btw?

[@MrSyriaMoon]

How good I should be in python to study cyber security?

[@nerdherdryan]

Although Python is a good beginner language which is widely used on the broad spectrum, aren't lower level languages such as c/c++ more vital for more complicated programs in which minimal runtime is vital? Python has a lot of benefits in its simplicity and safeguards such as memory management, but wouldn't a properly coded lower level language out preform in speed?

[@elijahtheo5812]

What do you mean Lower level language. C++ is very high level.

[@nerdherdryan]

@@elijahtheo5812 it is high level, but newer languages are much more complicated "under the hood". languages such as JavaScript or Python have more built in to the language itself. It causes Python for example to be much easier to use, but there is a lot built in to the language that is for usability rather than efficiency. The direct comparison would be the fact that Python is built in C, but even C++ is much faster/more efficient simply because it's slightly lower level, although at the cost of ease of use - prime example being that you have to manage your own memory in c++ but not Python.

[@mikeelliott2736]

I have been a cyber security professional for the last 13 years. In all that time I have not needed to write any code in any language.

[@collinsinfosec]

Totally depends on what you want to do! I use Python all the time to automate my tasks.

[@sknurulislam1271]

Hello, Do I need to learn Python Object Oriented Programming for hacking/pentesting, or basic Python(not including OOP) is enough?

[@GoalDen]

Can you do a video on how to stay motivated. Or when you feel down halfway through the the course

[@collinsinfosec]

Ooo, Good idea. On the video list now. As of right now, let me point you to this video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/b3abkoeObbCNd6M

[@yungdynamic5799]

what about Java?

[@aim2986]

U didnt tell any reason specific to cybersecurity. We already know its fast and easy. I'd like to learn why pick python specifically in cybersecurity.

[@3t3rnal5unshine]

[@effsixteenblock50]

Python - because it's using characters to delimit code blocks that can only be detected via a hex editor... ;)
