Conventions used

There are a number of text conventions used throughout this book.

Code in text: Indicates code words in text, database table names, folder names, filenames, file extensions, pathnames, dummy URLs, user input, and Twitter handles. Here is an example: "Download and install the msi file."

A block of code is set as follows:

#include <stdio.h>
void AdminFunction()
{
printf("Welcome!\n");
printf("You are now in the Admin function!\n");
}
void echo()
{
char buffer[25];
printf("Enter any text:\n");
scanf("%s", buffer);
printf("You entered: %s\n", buffer);
}
int main()
{
echo();
return 0;
}

Any command-line input or output is written as follows:

root@kali:~#apt-get  install  nmap

Bold: Indicates a new term, an important word, or words that you see onscreen. For example, words in menus or dialog boxes appear in the text like this. Here is an example: "Click on the Hosts menu."
