Description

Remote working has given hackers plenty of opportunities as more confidential information is shared over the internet than ever before. In this new edition of Mastering Kali Linux for Advanced Penetration Testing, you’ll learn an offensive approach to enhance your penetration testing skills by testing the sophisticated tactics employed by real hackers. You’ll go through laboratory integration to cloud services so that you learn another dimension of exploitation that is typically forgotten during a penetration test. You'll explore different ways of installing and running Kali Linux in a VM and containerized environment and deploying vulnerable cloud services on AWS using containers, exploiting misconfigured S3 buckets to gain access to EC2 instances. This book delves into passive and active reconnaissance, from obtaining user information to large-scale port scanning. Building on this, different vulnerability assessments are explored, including threat modeling. See how hackers use lateral movement, privilege escalation, and command and control (C2) on compromised systems. By the end of this book, you’ll have explored many advanced pentesting approaches and hacking techniques employed on networks, IoT, embedded peripheral devices, and radio frequencies.

A custom duty or localized taxes may be applicable on the shipment and would be charged by the recipient country outside of the EU27 which should be paid by the customer and these duties are not included in the shipping charges been charged on the order.

How do I know my custom duty charges?

The amount of duty payable varies greatly depending on the imported goods, the country of origin and several other factors like the total invoice amount or dimensions like weight, and other such criteria applicable in your country.

The book's extensive coverage, from network reconnaissance to post-exploitation strategies, resonated with the challenges I face in my day-to-day work. I found the inclusion of real-world scenarios invaluable. It's this blend of theory and practice has directly impacted my performance in the field.While the book assumes a foundational knowledge of networking and cybersecurity, you will run into issues whilst setting up the infrastructure, it will increase your ability to understand the basics clearly. This book is a mentor in the world of ethical hacking, which transforms knowledge into actionable expertise.

Great book for my pent testing collection! Absolutely recommended for those who know how to set up and a good computer in hand.

Michael Mar 06, 2022

As someone that has just recently done the Offensive Security OSCP course, I have been relying on many different resources, primarily as each does not quite consolidate the information required to gain knowledge in this area.This book is well written and captures many areas that now are consolidated into one title.It will satisfy the beginner, to the more knowledgeable, and I am sure even experts would learn one or two things from this book. Certainly its up to date and covers new areas that many other resources do not, many of which start to seem a little dated.Whether learning from zero point or you need a fresher or reference manual, this is a decent worthwhile book to have in your weaponry.

Adrian Santangelo May 06, 2022

I've been a security professional since the late 90's and read my fair share of books. I found "Mastering Kali Linux for Advanced Penetration Testing" to be easy to follow, choked FULL of useful info, and a flow you could follow. It's rare to find a technical book that can talk about so much, yet hold interest. And the linked files are well done and match up correctly.If I had to give it any criticism, it would only be that for an "advanced book" it dabbles in some beginner terms and areas that one may be already expected to know. But in some cases, that is also a feature, not a bug! For beginners, it gives enough background for them to follow along. Many areas are captured, resources are current, and the in-deppt concepts are well organized and explained.Highly recommend grabbing your own copy, again, regardless of skill level.

Katherine Linville-Meece May 28, 2022

First off, I would like to say, Vijay Kumar is a brilliant author. In this book he talks about advance pentesting approaches, different hacking techniques and much more. For someone who has been in the IT/Cyber industry for the past 10 years I can say this book is very well written and easy to understand even for a beginner to read. If you are wanting to become a Cybersecurity ethical hacking expert I would highly recommend this book!! - CyberTechDave
