Perl Scripting for IT Security
The technology covered in this book is not just the Perl programming language. Perl is simply used to automate tasks that would otherwise be time-consuming, tedious and the results would be subject to errors. Perl is used to crack the Windows, to peek inside and leverage the underlying technology to accomplish tasks that security professionals face
every day.This book isn't just a practical guide to performing real-world tasks; rather this book provides real, working code to the reader, illustrating techniques they can use to extract information from Windows systems. This approach allows the reader to get up and running much quicker. However, rather than being simply a collection of code, this book is a stepping off point into working more efficiently and getting the job done. Perl is the third most commonly used programming language in the world. Helps security professionals in updating settings on a remote server several cities away, collecting data for a report to management, and more. The companion Web site for the book contains dozens of scripts the reader can download and use today.
