A hands-on guide to hacking computer systems from the ground up, from capturing traffic to crafting sneaky, successful trojans.
A crash course in modern hacking techniques, Ethical Hacking is already being used to prepare the next generation of offensive security experts. In its many hands-on labs, you’ll explore crucial skills for any aspiring penetration tester, security researcher, or malware analyst.
You’ll begin with the basics: capturing a victim’s network traffic with an ARP spoofing attack and then viewing it in Wireshark. From there, you’ll deploy reverse shells that let you remotely run commands on a victim’s computer, encrypt files by writing your own ransomware in Python, and fake emails like the ones used in phishing attacks. In advanced chapters, you’ll learn how to fuzz for new vulnerabilities, craft trojans and rootkits, exploit websites with SQL injection, and escalate your privileges to extract credentials, which you’ll use to traverse a private network.
This practical guide teaches you the fundamental skills that you’ll need to become an ethical hacker. After reading this book, you should feel comfortable starting a career in penetration testing, participating in a capture-the-flag competition, and even applying for a position on a company’s red team. Each chapter introduces you to a kind of attack, explains the fundamentals of the target technology, and discusses useful tools and techniques for exploiting it. You’ll become familiar with tools like Kali Linux, Metasploit, the pyca/cryptography library, and Maltego. You’ll learn how to collect open source intelligence, scan systems and networks for vulnerabilities, write custom exploits, and design botnets.
You’ll also learn how to build your own tools in the Python programming language to understand the mechanisms behind the commands hackers commonly run. By the end of this book, you should have started to think like an ethical hacker: someone who can carefully analyze systems and creatively craft ways to gain access to them. To that end, this book is for anyone who wants the learn to hack. No previous networking or computer science experience is required to understand the text’s explanations. It’s best if you have some programming experience, especially in Python. But if you’re new to programming, no worries; you’ll still find this guide instructive in its explanation of network technologies, hacking strategies, and tools.
You’ll work with a wide range of professional penetration testing tools—and learn to write your own tools in Python—as you practice tasks like:
• Deploying the Metasploit framework’s reverse shells and embedding them in innocent-seeming files
• Capturing passwords in a corporate Windows network using Mimikatz
• Scanning (almost) every device on the internet to find potential victims
• Installing Linux rootkits that modify a victim’s operating system
• Performing advanced Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) attacks that execute sophisticated jаvascript payloads
Along the way, you’ll gain a foundation in the relevant computing technologies. Discover how advanced fuzzers work behind the scenes, learn how internet traffic gets encrypted, explore the inner mechanisms of nation-state malware like Drovorub, and much more.
Developed with feedback from cybersecurity students, Ethical Hacking addresses contemporary issues in the field not often covered in other books and will prepare you for a career in penetration testing. Most importantly, you’ll be able to think like an ethical hacker: someone who can carefully analyze systems and creatively gain access to them.
