Wrap-up

Great work in this section!
We focused on a few new topics that will help you put Python into practice in the security profession.
First, we explored opening and reading files in Python.
Security analysts work with a lot of log files, so the ability to do this is essential.
Next, we covered parsing files.
Log files can be very long.
For this reason, a structure in these files to make them more readable helps you automate your tasks and get the information you need.
And last, we focused on debugging code.
Knowing how to debug your code can save you a lot of time, especially as your code increases in complexity.
Overall, I hope you feel proud of what you've accomplished in this section.
Addressing security issues through Python is exciting, and the information we covered will allow you to do that.
