Description
Penetration testers simulate cyber attacks to find security weaknesses in networks, operating systems, and applications. Information security experts worldwide use penetration techniques to evaluate enterprise defenses.
In
, security expert, researcher, and trainer Georgia Weidman introduces you to the core skills and techniques that every pentester needs. Using a virtual machine每based lab that includes Kali Linux and vulnerable operating systems, you＊ll run through a series of practical lessons with tools like Wireshark, Nmap, and Burp Suite. As you follow along with the labs and launch attacks, you＊ll experience the key stages of an actual assessment〞including information gathering, finding exploitable vulnerabilities, gaining access to systems, post exploitation, and more.
Learn how to:
每Crack passwords and wireless network keys with brute-forcing and wordlists
每Test web applications for vulnerabilities
每Use the Metasploit Framework to launch exploits and write your own Metasploit modules
每Automate social-engineering attacks
每Bypass antivirus software
每Turn access to one machine into total control of the enterprise in the post exploitation phase
You＊ll even explore writing your own exploits. Then it＊s on to mobile hacking〞Weidman＊s particular area of research〞with her tool, the Smartphone Pentest Framework.
With its collection of hands-on lessons that cover key tools and strategies,
is the introduction that every aspiring hacker needs.
