Advanced Linux Exploitation

Now that we have a clear understanding of the different penetration testing methodologies, phases, and requirements, the game is just starting. It is time to buckle your seat belt because, in this chapter, you will dive into securing the Linux environment, from a high-level overview of Linux infrastructure penetration testing, to discovering the dark depths of kernel vulnerabilities. This chapter outlines the skills and tools required to bulletproof Linux infrastructures.

Key benefits

• Advanced exploitation techniques to breach modern operating systems and complex network devices

• Learn about Docker breakouts, Active Directory delegation, and CRON jobs

• Practical use cases to deliver an intelligent endpoint-protected system

Description

It has always been difficult to gain hands-on experience and a comprehensive understanding of advanced penetration testing techniques and vulnerability assessment and management. This book will be your one-stop solution to compromising complex network devices and modern operating systems. This book provides you with advanced penetration testing techniques that will help you exploit databases, web and application servers, switches or routers, Docker, VLAN, VoIP, and VPN. With this book, you will explore exploitation abilities such as offensive PowerShell tools and techniques, CI servers, database exploitation, Active Directory delegation, kernel exploits, cron jobs, VLAN hopping, and Docker breakouts. Moving on, this book will not only walk you through managing vulnerabilities, but will also teach you how to ensure endpoint protection. Toward the end of this book, you will also discover post-exploitation tips, tools, and methodologies to help your organization build an intelligent security system. By the end of this book, you will have mastered the skills and methodologies needed to breach infrastructures and provide complete endpoint protection for your system.

Who is this book for?

If you are a system administrator, SOC analyst, penetration tester, or a network engineer and want to take your penetration testing skills and security knowledge to the next level, then this book is for you. Some prior experience with penetration testing tools and knowledge of Linux and Windows command-line syntax is beneficial.

What you will learn

• Exposure to advanced infrastructure penetration testing techniques and methodologies

• Gain hands-on experience of penetration testing in Linux system vulnerabilities and memory exploitation

• Understand what it takes to break into enterprise networks

• Learn to secure the configuration management environment and continuous delivery pipeline

• Gain an understanding of how to exploit networks and IoT devices

Even I have no idea about anything security, it was easy for me to understand the core concepts. I would recommend it :)

After scouring numerous resources, taking online and instructor-led training, and speaking to hundreds of professional penetration testers, this has been the only resource that properly covers Active Directory Exploitation.There are books, such as Becoming the Hacker (best for web app penetration testing), that I would recommend to build on the foundation this book sets for some of the other topics. I might also compare this to Mastering Kali Linux for Advanced Penetration Testing, Third Edition (best for physical penetration testing). However, this book is unique in a few key ways.1) This book mentions PowerView, an essential suite for Windows Server Domain security testing. Unlike the other books that do mention PowerView, this book goes into detail about the intrinsics and internals.2) The book levers a technique that we've seen elsewhere, SPN Scanning, but simplifies it and consolidates the data gathering element in a simple command-by reference. It introduced SPN Scanning earlier than other publications and trainings. SPN Scanning is key to remaining under the radar yet able to pivot rapidly and cleanly.3) Although it could already use a refresh, the section on Continuous Integration penetration testing was prescient. No other books cover this so prominently, yet they should.Overall, besides the 2 books I mentioned that compete with this title, it's one of the best books on Infrastructure Penetration Testing and the current best publication on penetrating Active Directory / Windows Server technologies. I would definitely recommend all 3, especially in combination.

The book does not cover the details of anything in detail. Its only good if you don't know if that could happen .I won't recommend it to anyone . Waste of money .....

This is one of the most horrible books that I have ever read. Even class-text books that teach kids basic computer security have better information than this. The author seems to have no idea of what he is talking about. Every chapter goes into very high level about every topic including the topics of exploitation which is what this book intends to sell. I was really excited when I first looked at the table of contents in the book as it seemed promising covering topics like Docker exploitation, VPN exploitation, etc. However if you read any of these chapters you will soon realize that chapters dont even cover the basics of these technologies correctly. I usually dont like to be such harsh critic, but honestly the book is not even worth 1 dollar in my opinion. Its a combination of everything that we can find for free and still better arranged and explained else where on the Internet. Overall it was extremely disappointing
