I must admit it was the title that had me reaching for this one. I expected a tour of penetration tools with the mandatory Kali Linux reference somewhere. Instead, I found that Mr Lott has taken a directed learning approach to teaching the fundamentals of data gathering (From FTP, REST, JSON, etc) and manipulation with Python. He also goes through enough detail on such matters as exception handling, password recovery, file manipulation and elements of programming style to make this a valuable manual on the topic; even without the thematic examples.
