This book addresses interested Python programmers who want to learn about network coding and to administrators, who want to actively check the security of their systems and networks. The content should also be useful for white, gray and black hat hackers, who prefer Python for coding. You neither need deep knowledge on how computer networks are build up nor in programming.
