Preface

Kali Linux is the distro, which comes to mind when anyone thinks about penetration testing. Every year Kali is improved and updated with new tools making it more powerful. We see new exploits being released every day and with rapidly evolving technology, we have rapidly evolving attack vectors. This book aims to cover the approach to some of the unique scenarios a user may face while performing a pentest.

This book specifically focuses on using the Kali Linux to perform a pentest activity starting from information gathering till reporting. This book also covers recipes for testing wireless networks, web applications, and privilege escalations on both Windows and Linux machines and even exploiting vulnerabilities in software programs.
