There are many reasons to choose Python as your main programming language:

• Multi-platform and open source language.
• Simple, fast, robust, and powerful language.
• Many libraries, modules, and projects focused on computer security are written in Python.
• There is a lot of documentation and a very large user community.
• It is a language designed to make robust programs with a few lines of code, something that in other languages is only possible after including many characteristics of each language.
• Ideal for prototypes and rapid-concept tests (PoC).
