Learn how to hack systems like black hat hackers and secure them like
security experts
Key Features
- Understand how computer systems work and their vulnerabilities
- Exploit weaknesses and hack into machines to test their security
- Learn how to secure systems from hackers
Book Description
This book starts with the basics of ethical hacking, how to practice
hacking safely and legally, and how to install and interact with Kali
Linux and the Linux terminal. You will explore network hacking, where
you will see how to test the security of wired and wireless networks.
You'll also learn how to crack the password for any Wi-Fi network
(whether it uses WEP, WPA, or WPA2) and spy on the connected devices.
Moving on, you will discover how to gain access to remote computer
systems using client-side and server-side attacks. You will also get the
hang of post-exploitation techniques, including remotely controlling and
interacting with the systems that you compromised. Towards the end of
the book, you will be able to pick up web application hacking
techniques. You'll see how to discover, exploit, and prevent a number of
website vulnerabilities, such as XSS and SQL injections.
The attacks covered are practical techniques that work against real
systems and are purely for educational purposes. At the end of each
section, you will learn how to detect, prevent, and secure systems from
these attacks.
