Python for Security Automation

Summary

Building custom scripts for tasks generic tools don't cover — parsing logs, automating repetitive investigation steps, or integrating multiple security tools together via their APIs.

• 1Write a Python script automating a repetitive security task (e.g. parsing a log file for IOCs).
• 2Learn to use Python libraries commonly used in security work (requests, regex).
• 3Practice reading and modifying an existing open-source security script rather than starting from scratch.
