About this book
Kali Linux is a comprehensive penetration
testing platform with advanced tools to identify, detect, and exploit the
vulnerabilities uncovered in the target network environment. With Kali Linux,
you can apply the appropriate testing methodology with defined business
objectives and a scheduled test plan, resulting in successful penetration
testing project engagement.
This fourth edition of Kali Linux 2018:
Assuring Security by Penetration Testing starts with the installation of Kali
Linux. You will be able to create a full test environment to safely practice
scanning, vulnerability assessment, and exploitation. You’ll explore the
essentials of penetration testing by collecting relevant data on the target
network with the use of several footprinting and discovery tools. As you make
your way through the chapters, you’ll focus on specific hosts and services via
scanning and run vulnerability scans to discover various risks and threats
within the target, which can then be exploited. In the concluding chapters,
you’ll apply techniques to exploit target systems in order to gain access and
find a way to maintain that access. You’ll also discover techniques and tools
for assessing and attacking devices that are not physically connected to the
network, including wireless networks.
By the end of this book, you will be able to
use NetHunter, the mobile version of Kali Linux, and write a detailed report
based on your findings.
