SEC573: Python for Penetration Testers

Anyone taken this?

Wondering if it is really appropriate for beginners with no programming experience. They say it can be done, but i'm not so sure.

I was eyeing this at one point too, but in the past when I've heard about or taken classes that were self-described with "prior programming experience not required, but recommended" usually it means that knowledge would help a lot. I think SEC660 has somewhat similar verbiage (at least they recommend knowing the concepts) but a co-worker who took it mentioned that without having prior assembly experience, it's a bit unrealistic to expect to get a lot out of the class.

Check out SecurityTube's Python course. I'm going through it and it starts on a level basic enough to understand with little programming background.

I've taken this course with absolutely no programming experience. Mark Baggett (the instructor) does a great job at teaching those with not much programming knowledge. I think that whether or not you gain anything from the course depends on you continuing to work on it once it's completed.

Did any body took the security tube training for python?
