Synopsis

Mastering Modern Penetration Testing: Advanced Techniques for Securing Digital Infrastructures
Ready to move beyond basic vulnerability scans and master the art of modern, sophisticated cyber attacks?
This book is the definitive, hands-on guide for penetration testers, red teamers, and security professionals looking to elevate their skills for the threat landscape. Forget outdated theory; this is a practical journey deep into the advanced tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTPs) used by today's most effective threat actors. You'll learn to navigate and compromise the complex, interconnected digital infrastructures of modern enterprises, from on-premise Active Directory to sprawling multi-cloud environments.
Authored in straight-to-the-point, exhaustive prose, each chapter is a masterclass in offensive security, packed with real-world examples and the commands you need to get the job done. This book transforms you from a tool-user into a true security expert who understands the attacker's mindset.
Inside, you will master a wide range of advanced topics. Delve into Active Directory attacks that go far beyond Kerberoasting, learning to exploit complex Kerberos delegation flaws, weaponize Active Directory Certificate Services (AD CS), and pivot across forest trusts. Achieve cloud infrastructure dominance by uncovering critical misconfigurations in AWS, Azure, and GCP, chaining IAM vulnerabilities, and taking over entire cloud accounts. Infiltrate the heart of modern development with CI/CD pipeline and Kubernetes exploitation, where you'll attack control planes, perform container escapes, and compromise the software supply chain. You'll also learn to bypass modern defenses by understanding how to evade EDR/XDR solutions with in-memory execution and direct syscalls.
Finally, you will explore emerging threats in IoT/OT security, see how AI and LLMs are revolutionizing the field, and learn to craft high-impact reports that drive real change.
Whether you're a seasoned pentester looking to update your toolkit, a blue teamer aiming to build a threat-informed defense, or a developer passionate about security, this book is your comprehensive guide to the reality of modern offensive security.
Stop chasing alerts. Start thinking like an attacker.
