Scripting is commonly used by information security professionals as a means of evaluating the security of systems as well as a means of analyzing the data gathered from various information systems. In recent years Python has gathered much of the attention of the InfoSec community due to the development of projects like Scapy and the release of resources like “Violent Python”. Perl, however, should not be underestimated when it comes to it's ability for evaluating and improving the security of enterprise IT environments. This talk will demonstrate several example scripts which highlight the potential for applying Perl based solutions to real world information security challenges.
