Top Python Libraries Abused by Malware: A Hacker’s Shopping List
Malware developers are just like regular developers—they don’t want to reinvent the wheel. They often use existing Python libraries to enhance their scripts. From pyWinhook to pyautogui, these libraries, while legitimate, can be (ab)used to expand malicious capabilities.
Hot Take:
Python: The Swiss Army Knife of both Angelic Developers and Mischievous Hackers! Move over, “Hacker’s Toolbox”, you have a new contender!
Key Points:
- Malicious Python scripts often utilize legitimate libraries for nefarious purposes.
- Popular libraries include pyWinhook, pyperclip, psutil, win32gui, and many more.
- These libraries are not inherently malicious but are frequently abused.
- Developers use these libraries to avoid reinventing the wheel, much like their law-abiding counterparts.
- Awareness and monitoring of these libraries can help in identifying potentially harmful scripts.
