Synopsis

This book provides an overview of the kill chain approach to penetration testing, and then focuses on using Kali Linux to provide examples of how this methodology is applied in the real world. After describing the underlying concepts, step-by-step examples are provided that use selected tools to demonstrate the techniques.

If you are an IT professional or a security consultant who wants to maximize the success of their network testing using some of the advanced features of Kali Linux, then this book is for you. This book will teach you how to become an expert in the pre-engagement, management and documentation of penetration testing by building on your understanding of the Kali Linux and wireless concepts.
