If you haven't found the necessary information about the book — write in the comments, we will try to find it.
Master key approaches used by real attackers to perform advanced pentesting in tightly secured infrastructure, cloud and virtualized environments, and devices, and learn the latest phishing and hacking techniques
Key Features- Explore red teaming and play the hackers game to proactively defend your infrastructure
- Use OSINT, Google dorks, Nmap, recon-nag, and other tools for passive and active reconnaissance
- Learn about the latest email, Wi-Fi, and mobile-based phishing techniques
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, youll learn an offensive approach to enhance your penetration testing skills by testing the sophisticated tactics employed by real hackers. Youll go through laboratory integration to cloud services so that you learn another dimension of exploitation that is typically forgotten during a penetration test. Youll 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, youll have explored many advanced pentesting approaches and hacking techniques employed on networks, IoT, embedded peripheral devices, and radio frequencies.
What you will learn- Exploit networks using wired/wireless networks, cloud infrastructure, and web services
- Learn embedded peripheral device, Bluetooth, RFID, and IoT hacking techniques
- Master the art of bypassing traditional antivirus and endpoint detection and response (EDR) tools
- Test for data system exploits using Metasploit, PowerShell Empire, and CrackMapExec
- Perform cloud security vulnerability assessment and exploitation of security misconfigurations
- Use bettercap and Wireshark for network sniffing
- Implement complex attacks with Metasploit, Burp Suite, and OWASP ZAP
This fourth edition is for security analysts, pentesters, ethical hackers, red team operators, and security consultants wanting to learn and optimize infrastructure/application/cloud security using advanced Kali Linux features. Prior penetration testing experience and basic knowledge of ethical hacking will help you make the most of this book.

This book is about the use of Kali Linux in performing penetration tests against networks, systems, and applications. A penetration test simulates an attack against a network or a system by a malicious outsider or insider. Unlike a vulnerability assessment, penetration testing is designed to include the exploitation phase. Therefore, it proves that the exploit is present and that the system is at risk of being compromised if not acted upon.
Throughout this book, we will refer to penetration testers, attackers, pentesters, and hackers interchangeably as they use the same techniques and tools to assess the security of networks and data systems. The only difference between them is their end objectiveinfiltrating a secure data network or a data breach.
Readers must be aware that it is illegal to knowingly/intentionally scan or access a protected computer or network without explicit approval.
In short, this book will take you through a journey of a penetration tester with many proven techniques to defeat the latest defenses on a network using Kali Linux. From selecting the most effective tools, to rapidly compromising network security to highlighting the techniques used to avoid detection.
If youre a penetration tester, IT professional, or security consultant who wants to maximize the success of your network testing using some of the advanced features of Kali Linux, then this book is for you. Some prior exposure to the basics of penetration testing/ethical hacking would be helpful to get the most out of this title.
Chapter 1, Goal-Based Penetration Testing, introduces a functional outline based on the penetration testing methodology that will be used throughout the book. It ensures that a coherent and comprehensive approach to penetration testing will be followed.
Chapter 2, Open-Source Intelligence and Passive Reconnaissance, provides a background on how to gather information about a target using publicly available sources and the tools that can simplify reconnaissance and information management.
Chapter 3, Active Reconnaissance of External and Internal Networks, introduces the reader to stealthy approaches that can be used to gain information about the target, especially the information that identifies vulnerabilities, which could be exploited.
Chapter 4, Vulnerability Assessment, teaches you the semi-automated process of scanning a network and its devices to locate systems that are vulnerable to attack and compromise and the process of taking all reconnaissance and vulnerability scan information, assessing it, and then creating a map to guide the penetration testing process.
Chapter 5, Advanced Social Engineering and Physical Security, shows you why being able to physically access a system or interact with the humans who manage it provides the most successful route to exploitation.
Chapter 6, Wireless and Bluetooth Attacks, provides a brief explanation of wireless and Bluetooth technologies and focuses on the common techniques used to compromise these networks by bypassing security.
Chapter 7, Exploiting Web-Based Applications, provides a brief overview of one of the most complex delivery phases to secure: web-based applications that are exposed to the public internet.
