Synopsis

Basic Security Testing with Kali Linux 2

Kali Linux 2 (2016) is an Ethical Hacking platform that allows good guys to use the same tools and techniques that a hacker would use, so they can find security issues before the bad guys do.

In Basic Security Testing with Kali Linux 2, you will learn basic examples of how hackers find out information about your company, find weaknesses in your security and how they gain access to your system.

Completely updated for 2016, this step-by-step guide covers:
  • Kali Linux Introduction and Overview
  • Shodan (the “Hacker’s Google”)
  • Metasploit Tutorials

  • Escalating Privileges in Windows
  • Cracking Passwords and Obtaining Clear Text Passwords
  • Wi-Fi Attacks
  • Kali on a Raspberry Pi
