Key benefits

  • 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

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.

Who is this book for?

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.

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

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.

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

As a professional Web Application Penetration tester with over 20 years in the security field. I would highly recommend this book. The book itself is tailored towards intermediate to advanced users. I personally have been using Linux as my daily driver since 1996 and can spot poop immediately. That is not the case here. This book is extremely well done and covers a vast majority of main points in a daily use case scenario.One major highlight that I noticed immediately ( this really stood out ) was the coverage of virtualization which is how the modern security field operates. Penetration tests are done virtualized in some capacity and highly recommended so the host environment is not contaminated or compromised itself. The image can be compressed and used in forensics if required. I personally use Docker, Vagrant and Qemu daily. I have not seen this in other penetration testing related releases. It not only covers one but covers a multitude of different virtual platforms to get you up and running quickly with a fair understanding of the baseline technology. There are books just for virtualization. I surely wouldn't expect that here.As far as daily usage is concerned. You definitely could use this book as a quick reference guide as I do with most my books. You could hands on use this book in that capacity. Which in my opinion makes the book worthy of having on the shelf and having a copy on your machine for quick reference ( copy / paste ). It is heavily imaged which certainly is great. Visualization can definitely help when learning or comparing expected results. Sometimes seeing it makes all the difference.I was impressed enough I recommended it to the pen-test team at work. It's a keeper. In my opinion I believe the author did a fantastic job. Kudos to him and Packt for releasing this.

Can I download the code files for Early Access titles? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

We try to ensure that all books in Early Access have code available to use, download, and fork on GitHub. This helps us be more agile in the development of the book, and helps keep the often changing code base of new versions and new technologies as up to date as possible. Unfortunately, however, there will be rare cases when it is not possible for us to have downloadable code samples available until publication.

When we publish the book, the code files will also be available to download from the Packt website.

How accurate is the publication date? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

The publication date is as accurate as we can be at any point in the project. Unfortunately, delays can happen. Often those delays are out of our control, such as changes to the technology code base or delays in the tech release. We do our best to give you an accurate estimate of the publication date at any given time, and as more chapters are delivered, the more accurate the delivery date will become.

How will I know when new chapters are ready? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

We'll let you know every time there has been an update to a course that you've bought in Early Access. You'll get an email to let you know there has been a new chapter, or a change to a previous chapter.

Keeping up to date with the latest technology is difficult; new versions, new frameworks, new techniques. This feature gives you a head-start to our content, as it's being created. With Early Access you'll receive each chapter as it's written, and get regular updates throughout the product's development, as well as the final course as soon as it's ready.We created Early Access as a means of giving you the information you need, as soon as it's available. As we go through the process of developing a course, 99% of it can be ready but we can't publish until that last 1% falls in to place. Early Access helps to unlock the potential of our content early, to help you start your learning when you need it most. You not only get access to every chapter as it's delivered, edited, and updated, but you'll also get the finalized, DRM-free product to download in any format you want when it's published. As a member of Packt, you'll also be eligible for our exclusive offers, including a free course every day, and discounts on new and popular titles.
