## What it is
A Python 3 port of the source code from the book 'Black Hat Python' by Justin Seitz, reformatted to PEP8 and refactored to fix deprecated libraries and bugs. It serves as a companion codebase for readers learning offensive security and network programming techniques in Python.

## Use cases
- follow along with the Black Hat Python book exercises in Python 3
- learn how to build network sniffers and packet decoders in Python
- study example SSH server and client implementations for ethical hacking
- build a TCP port scanner as a learning exercise
- understand deprecated library replacements when porting old Python 2 security tools
- practice ethical hacking tool development with working sample code

## When to choose
- you are reading 'Black Hat Python' and need working Python 3 code
- you want a maintained, bug-fixed version of the book's original repository
- you are learning offensive security and network programming fundamentals in Python

## When to avoid
- you need production-ready, hardened security tooling for real engagements
- you want modern idiomatic Python with type hints, docstrings, and full test coverage
- you need a tool with an active license or official support

## Facets
- artifact type: learning-resource
- maturity: maintenance
- function: security, networking, developer-tools
- domain: security, penetration-testing, networking, developer-tools, tutorials
- platform: python, windows, cross-platform
- tags: black-hat-python, ethical-hacking, book-companion, python3-port, hacking-tools, cybersecurity, offensive-security, linux, macos
