Preface

Penetration testing is becoming an important skill set for any individual to have within their toolset with the proliferation of security threats in today’s modern landscape. The issue at hand is that many individuals just don’t know where to start learning the proper way to run a penetration test for their organization. The focus of this book is to help individuals understand the penetration testing process as well as learn about the different aspects of the penetration test. Using a Raspberry Pi running on Kali Linux and various workstations and servers, we will go through various testing scenarios using open source tools to not only tell you how to use these tools but also show you how to interpret the results. This way, as you work your way through the book, you can apply what you learn daily to whichever penetration testing project you may be working on.
