I quite enjoyed the book, but as 2021 it looks quite outdated, not just for the choice of using Python 2.7.

Deliberately, as expressed by the author, the scripts are written raw & dirty to simulate the approach he uses during a penetration testing.

Since I had to convert all the source codes anyway, to run them on my machine (Kali Linux VM + Win10 OS + Win10 VM + Python 3.9) I decided to go extra-mile and save them in a repo, in the meantime trying to optimize the code and making it a little more elegant

Improvement made from the book's code

• Refactoring to Python 3 and code testing (unless otherwise specified)

• Update to PEP8 standards

• Upgraded readability (es. comments, indentation, variable names, file names)

• Update of obsolete methods (es. print -s %)

• Better context management (es. open with, server.close())

• Disregard of unsupported libs

• Minor tweaks and bugs found while testing the code

• Search for additional files requested throughout the book and not provided, or provided at outdated links, and included in individual chapters

• Additional information and resources that I searched for and found useful as I made my way through the book

If someone's going thru the same journey may find this resource somehow helpful

"Black Hat Python" is a great book, but the fact that it was written in Python 2 is a bit of a problem. Not only that but conflict resolution and plain bug fixing is necessary in practically every chapter.

I left some good amount of information on how to use the repository code right on the README.md file.

It was a lot of work but I think I did most of it. Enjoy.
