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: “You can also search for deep links if the path is known or common – for example, link:my-site.com/phpmyadmin.”

A block of code is set as follows:

User-agent: *Disallow /

When we wish to draw your attention to a particular part of a code block, the relevant lines or items are set in bold:

md5sum /usr/share/windows-resources/mimikatz/x64/mimikatz.exe

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

cd /etc/network
sudo vi interfaces

Bold: Indicates a new term, an important word, or words that you see on screen. For instance, words in menus or dialog boxes appear in bold. Here is an example: “This group is sometimes referred to as ethical hackers and is the opposite of black hat hackers.”
