Protect your system or web application with this accessible guide.

Penetration tests, also known as ‘pen tests’, are a means of assessing the security of a computer system by simulating a cyber-attack. These tests can be an essential tool in detecting exploitable vulnerabilities in a computer system or web application, averting potential user data breaches, privacy violations, losses of system function, and more. With system security an increasingly fundamental part of a connected world, it has never been more important that cyber professionals understand the pen test and its potential applications.

Pen Testing from Contract to Report offers a step-by-step overview of the subject. Built around a new concept called the Penetration Testing Life Cycle, it breaks the process into phases, guiding the reader through each phase and its potential to expose and address system vulnerabilities. The result is an essential tool in the ongoing fight against harmful system intrusions.

To enhance your learning experience, we have included content mapped to highly regarded certification exams. This ensures that you are well prepared for industry-­recognized certifications and validates your expertise in penetration testing. Additionally, we provide detailed techniques for evading intrusion detection systems, firewalls, honeypots, and other security measures that you may encounter during your tests.

We understand that practical hands-­on experience is crucial in mastering pen testing. Therefore, we have developed accompanying software that allows you to practice the concepts outlined in the book. Furthermore, each chapter concludes with thought-­provoking questions and real-­world case studies, enabling you to apply your knowledge and hone your skills.
