Synopsis

Basic Security Testing with Kali Linux, Third Edition

Kali Linux is an Ethical Hacking platform that allows security professionals to use the same tools and techniques that a hacker would use, so they can find security issues before the attackers do. The previous versions of this book have been used worldwide as a basic primer to using Kali Linux in the security field. This cover to cover re-write covers many new tools and techniques and is the product of years of valuable feedback from the education and security community.

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

This hands on step-by-step guide covers:

• Kali Linux Overview & Usage
• Shodan (the “Hacker’s Google”)
• Metasploit Tutorials
• Exploiting Windows and Linux Systems
• Escalating Privileges in Windows
• Cracking Passwords and Obtaining Clear Text Passwords
• Wi-Fi Attacks
• Kali on a Raspberry Pi & Android
