Just goes to show how useful and flexible Python can be for DFIR.<br /><br />Cults14 - tThe community is trying to change to v3, but most of the third party libraries are still v2 only. To be honest, I would suggest that you use whichever version you're learning from and go from there. :)Chris Edmondsonhttp://www.qccglobal.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4080617372940068027.post-28023424607761883252015-04-16T10:16:56.217-04:002015-04-16T10:16:56.217-04:00Excellent thanks for this Corey, I intend signing ...Excellent thanks for this Corey, I intend signing up for this. Was wondering if you had any thoughts on using the legacy version (2.x) of Python referenced by Python for Informatics: Exploring Information vs the current (v3) version which promises little or no backward compatibility?<br />I had already downloaded v3 before I looked at the book and as a non-programmer found myself intimidated by immediate Syntax errors - which I managed to work out but wonder what else may be in store?<br />Normally I'd guess that the current version (not x.0 though :)) would be preferable to a legacy version - and yes, I know it's free :)<br />Cheers<br />PeterCults14https://www.blogger.com/profile/09327353424676993241noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4080617372940068027.post-62968594126485653022015-04-10T05:38:54.640-04:002015-04-10T05:38:54.640-04:00It's an encouraging post and an answer for tho...It's an encouraging post and an answer for those who work in the DFIR field and want to learn Python but not sure how to start. They got the answer with an example how the basics learned was applied.

I think my problem is similar to yours in that I needed a reason to use it instead of just diving in. In a previous attempt, I wrote a short Python script to solve a problem I had and it worked perfectly. It was really more of a glorified batch file, but it did what I needed it to.<br />Anyway, great post!Ken Pryorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06777221347861058406noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4080617372940068027.post-1350834825900093072015-04-09T07:23:15.308-04:002015-04-09T07:23:15.308-04:00Very cool, Corey.
