Description

This book explores reconnaissance techniques – the first step in discovering security vulnerabilities and exposed network infrastructure. It aids ethical hackers in understanding adversaries’ methods of identifying and mapping attack surfaces, such as network entry points, which enables them to exploit the target and steal confidential information. Reconnaissance for Ethical Hackers helps you get a comprehensive understanding of how threat actors are able to successfully leverage the information collected during the reconnaissance phase to scan and enumerate the network, collect information, and pose various security threats. This book helps you stay one step ahead in knowing how adversaries use tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTPs) to successfully gain information about their targets, while you develop a solid foundation on information gathering strategies as a cybersecurity professional. The concluding chapters will assist you in developing the skills and techniques used by real adversaries to identify vulnerable points of entry into an organization and mitigate reconnaissance-based attacks. By the end of this book, you’ll have gained a solid understanding of reconnaissance, as well as learned how to secure yourself and your organization without causing significant disruption.

Who is this book for?

If you are an ethical hacker, a penetration tester, red teamer, or any cybersecurity professional looking to understand the impact of reconnaissance-based attacks, how they take place, and what organizations can do to protect against them, then this book is for you. Cybersecurity professionals will find this book useful in determining the attack surface of their organizations and assets on their network, while understanding the behavior of adversaries.

I received a copy of Packt Publishing’s Reconnaissance for Ethical Hackers by Glen Singh. In this book, the author provides an amazing overview of ethical hacking and how reconnaissance is important within cybersecurity operations. The book only becomes more intriguing and helpful from here. Glen provides all the guidance and tools necessary to create your own lab to perform security reconnaissance and evaluate vulnerable systems. This includes tools for websites, endpoints, identity, and the perimeter and internal networks. Each section dives into each of these areas and how to perform the activities for reconnaissance within various frameworks. The book closes with ways to then build these frameworks into monitoring and detection systems for security operations. I highly recommend this book for anyone that is wanting to understand how to approach cybersecurity reconnaissance from an ethical perspective.

I recently read "Reconnaissance for Ethical Hackers" by Glen D. Singh and I highly recommend it. The book provides valuable insights and information on ethical hacking, specifically focusing on the importance of reconnaissance in data breaches and the essential steps for successful penetration testing. The author covers various topics such as real-world reconnaissance techniques, gathering sensitive information on systems and networks, vulnerability assessments, threat modeling, lateral movement, privilege escalation, command and control (C2), and advanced pentesting approaches and hacking techniques employed on networks, IoT, embedded peripheral devices, and radio frequencies. I appreciate the author's expertise and the practical knowledge shared in the book. It is considered a valuable resource for those looking to enhance their penetration testing skills and understand the tactics employed by real hackers. Overall, "Reconnaissance for Ethical Hackers" is a must-read for individuals interested in ethical hacking and penetration testing, providing valuable insights and practical knowledge in the field.

I recently completed Network+ taught by Glen D. Singh and it was very in depth, informative and he relayed all the information that is needed for the Comptia Network+ exam pretty well. Reading this book is very similar to doing one of his courses, it dives deep into Ethical Hacking which was a bit intimidating but I got through it. I will definitely re-read because absorbing all this knowledge would take a few reads. I strongly recommend this book for anyone wanting to begin their journey into ethical hacking and Cybersecurity.
