Practical PERL for Security Practitioners
- Abstract
- This paper introduces PERL as a useful, flexible, and extensible tool for the security practitioner. References to resources are provided so that the reader may expand their knowledge beyond the concepts presented here. In this paper examples of PERL's ability to process log files, grab banners of network services, craft packets, and to exploit code that writes to unchecked buffers (typically call buffer overflows) are explored.
