Nothing special
Hollywood movies tend to suggest that it takes Dr. Evil or some other nasty genius to be a cybercriminal. While some of it may be true for some kinds of attacks as well as for some well-defended targets, it is surprisingly simple to achieve significant results. Today's topic was inspired by the book Violent Python by TJ O'Connor - but similar easy recipes can also be found online.
But first, we need to learn a bit more about Python.

Strings
Manipulation of strings (textual values) is a common task for security-related scripts in Python - e.g. a web page URL (web address), an IP address or a serial number are all handled as strings. Finding, extracting and relocating substrings (e.g. replace the last block of an IP address with another) are all common.
