Description

This book starts with the basics of ethical hacking, how to practice hacking safely and legally, and how to install and interact with Kali Linux and the Linux terminal. You will explore network hacking, where you will see how to test the security of wired and wireless networks. You’ll also learn how to crack the password for any Wi-Fi network (whether it uses WEP, WPA, or WPA2) and spy on the connected devices. Moving on, you will discover how to gain access to remote computer systems using client-side and server-side attacks. You will also get the hang of post-exploitation techniques, including remotely controlling and interacting with the systems that you compromised. Towards the end of the book, you will be able to pick up web application hacking techniques. You'll see how to discover, exploit, and prevent a number of website vulnerabilities, such as XSS and SQL injections. The attacks covered are practical techniques that work against real systems and are purely for educational purposes. At the end of each section, you will learn how to detect, prevent, and secure systems from these attacks.

In the same vein of Georgia Weidman book at beginning pentesting....this is THE book to start with hands down.It is the most current and the instruction found in the book is extremely easy to follow.Unfortunately, much of the material in her (Wiedmans) book is outdated, but Zaids book has that covered!The complex issues are broken down in to portions that are digestible and they build on each other.The author also has a Udemy video course of the same name that seems to follow the subject matter in the book.He is very responsive and you also find it easy to follow the examples that he provides.I cannot stress enough how good the author is at conveying ideas to beginners to give them a VERY good basis for entering the pentesting/cracking (white hat) realm.This book definitely deserves a look if you are heading into this realm of cybersecurity.

Great book. This is by far the best I’ve read yet. The way it is explained makes it much easier to understand and remember the steps and processes to hacking. And that allowed myself more time practicing hacking in the virtual labs. This was a huge help for getting my CEH certification.
