Is Python or Ruby good for penetration testing?

I hear Python is very good for pentesting. It has got good modules for that. But it's not a good framework, like Metasploit.

Solution

  • Any language that has good, easy string handling capabilities is a good match for penetration testing. This is why you see scripting languages as the most used languages in this sort of tasks.

    To answer your question, they're just as good.
