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.

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.

The book takes you through exciting features, network security testing tools, avoiding detection using stealth, exploiting wired and wireless networks, maintaining access to compromised systems, and more. This book is an invaluable source of information to those who wish to obtain ethical hacking skills. Easily a five star read.
