Blackhat Haskell: Leveraging Functional Programming for Penetration Testing and Cybersecurity
Unlock the full potential of Haskell in the world of penetration testing and cybersecurity with Blackhat Haskell. Whether you're a seasoned developer, a penetration tester, or a security enthusiast, this book takes you on a deep dive into using the Haskell programming language for building secure, efficient, and sophisticated cybersecurity tools. Written by an experienced Haskell programmer and certified ethical hacker, this book provides a practical guide for integrating functional programming with the real-world challenges of modern security testing.

What's Inside:

Blackhat Haskell covers a wide range of topics, including but not limited to:

  • Building Custom Network Scanners: Learn how to automate network reconnaissance with powerful Haskell scripts, enabling you to detect vulnerabilities and gather critical information with ease.
  • Automating Exploitation Workflows: Discover how to streamline your penetration testing tasks, from vulnerability scanning to automated exploit delivery, with Haskell's functional elegance.
  • Building Command and Control Frameworks: Design stealthy command and control (C2) systems that allow for safe and effective communication with compromised systems.
  • Memory Exploitation and Reverse Engineering: Harness Haskell's precision to develop advanced tools for automating binary analysis and exploiting memory vulnerabilities.
  • Cryptographic Attacks: Explore the theory and practice of cryptographic attacks, including hash collisions and key-based exploits, all implemented in Haskell.
  • Secure Code and Intrusion Detection: Learn best practices for writing secure code in Haskell and how to develop an intrusion detection system (IDS) to protect your applications.
  • Automating Malware Detection: Discover how to write your own malware detectors and reverse-engineer malicious code, leveraging Haskell's robust tooling for static analysis.
  • Real-World Case Studies: Work through comprehensive case studies to see how to build real-world cybersecurity tools and workflows from scratch.

Throughout this book, you'll not only learn Haskell-specific techniques for cybersecurity but also understand how functional programming principles can lead to more secure, more maintainable, and more efficient code. With an emphasis on real-world application, this book is designed to empower you to create powerful tools for both offensive and defensive cybersecurity.Don't miss your chance to learn how to write secure, efficient, and powerful cybersecurity tools using Haskell.
