The initial implementation of mod_python was a port to Apache HTTP server of a project called NSAPy. NSAPy was written by Aaron Watters for the Netscape Enterprise Server and was used as an example in a chapter of the book Internet Programming with Python written by Aaron Watters, Guido van Rossum, and James Ahlstrom.

Jinja, a Python-powered template engine, inspired by Django's template engine; Kid, simple template engine for XML-based vocabularies; Meson build system, a software tool for automating the building (compiling) of software; mod_python, an Apache module allowing direct integration of Python scripts with the Apache web server
The module design of Salt creates Python modules that handle certain aspects of the available Salt systems. These modules allow for the interactions within Salt to be detached and modified to suit the needs of a developer or system administrator. The Salt system maintains many module types to manage specific actions.
Metasploit was created by H. D. Moore in 2003 as a portable network tool using Perl.By 2007, the Metasploit Framework had been completely rewritten in Ruby.On October 21, 2009, the Metasploit Project announced [4] that it had been acquired by Rapid7, a security company that provides unified vulnerability management solutions.
In the Apache web server, a number of modules can be used to limit the damage caused by the Slowloris attack; the Apache modules mod_limitipconn, mod_qos, mod_evasive, mod security, mod_noloris, and mod_antiloris have all been suggested as means of reducing the likelihood of a successful Slowloris attack.
A penetration test, colloquially known as a pentest, is an authorized simulated cyberattack on a computer system, performed to evaluate the security of the system; [1] this is not to be confused with a vulnerability assessment. [2]
A common purpose of cold boot attacks is to circumvent software-based disk encryption. Cold boot attacks when used in conjunction with key finding attacks have been demonstrated to be an effective means of circumventing full disk encryption schemes of various vendors and operating systems, even where a Trusted Platform Module (TPM) secure cryptoprocessor is used.
