- Use Python libraries like socket, paramiko, netmiko, and scapy
- Create custom network scanners and packet sniffers
- Establish SSH and Telnet connections to routers and switches via scripts
- Analyze and manipulate network traffic using Python
- Automate repetitive network tasks such as backups and monitoring
- Understand IP addressing, protocols, and client-server models with practical examples
- Develop tools to troubleshoot and secure network infrastructure
- Build real-world Python scripts to manage and audit networks

Requirements
- Willingness to learn by doing — this is a hands-on course

Description
Are you looking to take your networking skills to the next level with the power of Python? This course is designed to bridge the gap between traditional network administration and modern network automation. Whether you're a network engineer, a system administrator, or an aspiring IT professional, this course will provide you with the skills and knowledge to harness Python for real-world network programming tasks.

Python has become the go-to language for network engineers because of its readability, flexibility, and extensive libraries designed for networking tasks. In this course, you’ll learn how to use Python to interact with network devices, analyze data traffic, build socket-based applications, and automate common networking tasks that would otherwise take hours to perform manually.

Throughout the course, we will focus on practical, hands-on exercises to ensure that you not only understand the theory but also know how to apply it in real environments. You will explore how to write scripts to communicate with routers and switches, monitor network activity, create custom network tools, and much more. The course progresses from foundational concepts to more advanced techniques, ensuring it is suitable for both beginners and those with some programming or networking experience.

By the end of this course, you will be confident in your ability to write Python scripts that interact with and control network systems, making you a more efficient, skilled, and modern network professional. No prior Python or programming experience is required — just your motivation to learn and grow in the evolving world of network technology.
