This is the code repository for Mastering Machine Learning for Penetration Testing, published by Packt.
Develop an extensive skill set to break self-learning systems using Python
What is this book about?
Cyber security is crucial for both businesses and individuals. As systems are getting smarter, we now see machine learning interrupting computer security. With the adoption of machine learning in upcoming security products, it’s important for pentesters and security researchers to understand how these systems work, and to breach them for testing purposes.
This book covers the following exciting features:
- Take an in-depth look at machine learning
- Get to know natural language processing (NLP)
- Understand malware feature engineering
- Build generative adversarial networks using Python libraries
- Work on threat hunting with machine learning and the ELK stack
