Who This Book Is For

Penetration Testers, IT professional or a security consultant who wants to maximize the success of your network testing the use of probably the most advanced features of Kali Linux, then this book is for you.Some prior exposure to basics of penetration testing/ethical hacking would be helpful in making the most out of this title.

What You Will Learn

  • Select and configure among the finest tools from Kali Linux to test network security
  • Employ stealth to avoid detection in the network being tested
  • Recognize when stealth attacks are being used against your network
  • Exploit networks and data systems the use of wired and wireless networks as well as web services
  • Identify and download valuable data from target systems
  • Maintain access to compromised systems
  • Use social engineering to compromise the weakest part of the network-the end users

In Detail

This book will take you, as a tester or security practitioner through the journey of reconnaissance, vulnerability assessment, exploitation, and post-exploitation activities used by penetration testers and hackers.

We will start off by the use of a laboratory environment to validate tools and techniques, and the use of an application that supports a collaborative approach to penetration testing. Further We will be able to get acquainted with passive reconnaissance with open source intelligence and active reconnaissance of the external and internal networks. We will be able to also focus on how to choose, use, customize, and interpret the results from a variety of different vulnerability scanners. Specific routes to the target will also be examined, including bypassing physical security and exfiltration of data the use of different techniques. You’re going to also get to grips with concepts such as social engineering, attacking wireless networks, exploitation of web applications and remote access connections. Later You’re going to learn the practical aspects of attacking user client systems by backdooring executable files. You’re going to focus on the most vulnerable part of the network-directly and bypassing the controls, attacking the end user and maintaining persistence access through social media.

You will also explore approaches to carrying out advanced penetration testing in tightly secured environments, and the book’s hands-on approach will help you understand everything you want to know all through a Red teaming exercise or penetration testing

Style and approach

An advanced level tutorial that follows a practical approach and proven methods to maintain top notch security of your networks.
