Study Notes
Virtual Environments
- Virtual environments isolate dependency libraries, enabling easy switching between projects.
requirements.txtfiles ensure repeatability and avoid global installations.- Isolation enhances security and allows safer testing of new libraries.
- Virtual environments have a command-line setup process.
- Install
virtualenvusingpip install virtualenv. - Create a virtual environment using
python -m venv env1. - Activate the virtual environment:
- On macOS/Linux:
source env1/bin/activate. - On Windows:
cd env1, thenScripts\activate.
- On macOS/Linux:
Common Uses of Virtual Environments
- Automation of processes, including:
- Writing scripts.
- Customizing tools.
- Automating and orchestrating security response operations.
- Web server fingerprinting.
- Simulation of attacks.
- Port scanning.
- Website cloning.
- Load generation and testing of websites.
- Creating intrusion detection and prevention systems.
- Wireless network scanning.
- Transmission of traffic in the network.
- Accessing mail servers.
Choosing an IDE
- Many IDEs support Python and Jupyter Notebooks.
- Consider factors when selecting an IDE, including:
- Programming Language Support. (e.g., code completion, integrations).
- Ease of use (speed to get started, customization options).
- Performance (overhead, integration with large computation systems like Databricks).
- Collaboration and Support (community, popularity, and paid support options, Git Integration).
- Trial-and-error: trying different IDEs on sample projects can yield optimal choices.
- Using multiple IDEs can be beneficial in specific situations.
Jupyter Notebooks
- Jupyter Notebook is widely used in data science and machine learning.
- It's a web application for creating and sharing computational documents.
- It supports various programming languages, not only Python (e.g., R, Scala).
- Jupyter's interactive execution allows for easy adjustments and instant feedback.
- Markdown support facilitates documentation and easy-to-read reports.
- Inline visuals are supported within notebooks.
- It facilitates support for large-scale data platforms.
- Multiple plugins are available for extended functionality.
