Conventions

In this book, you will find a number of styles of text that distinguish between different kinds of information. Here are some examples of these styles, and an explanation of their meaning.

Code words in text, database table names, folder names, filenames, file extensions, pathnames, dummy URLs, user input, and Twitter handles are shown as follows: "We will be using one of them: select the file /usr/share/wordlists/dirbuster/directory-list-lowercase-2.3-small.txt."

A block of code is set as follows:

info
server-status
server-info
cgi-bin
robots.txt
phpmyadmin
admin
login

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

nmap -p 80,443 --script=http-waf-detect 192.168.56.102

New terms and important words are shown in bold. Words that you see on the screen, in menus or dialog boxes for example, appear in the text like this: "An alert will tell us that the file was installed; click on OK and on OK again to leave the Options dialog".
