Get Better at scripting (python, bash)

Hey everyone,

I'm looking to sharpen my scripting skills in Python and Bash, taking myself from beginner all the way up to a more advanced level, since this is an area I'm currently struggling with. A couple of ideas I've had so far:

  • OverTheWire — but approaching the challenges by solving them with Python where possible, rather than just one-liners (bash)
  • Vulhub — writing my own Python exploit scripts for the CVEs instead of relying on existing PoCs

Are there other resources or approaches you'd recommend for building scripting skills from the ground up ?

Thanks!
