The overall contents of the book are quite useful and informative. I work in one of the top financial institutions (Fortune 100) where the security practices require proactive and diligent measures to be taken for all the possible threat scenarios. This is where the Penetration Testing comes in handy. It is, however, not so common in my industry to utilize open source security auditing tools to assess the threats and vulnerabilities which may exist in the network infrastructure (systems or applications). But leveraging a use of Open Source Security Toolkit (i.e. Kali Linux) in parallel provides more flexible and robust structure for conducting the pen-testing exercise. As the combination of both Open Source and Commercial security tools help in broad coverage of vulnerability intelligence. Therefore, it assures that you will not miss any major security issues which may have been existed and yet to be discovered by malicious adversary in near future. The book provides a comprehensive guidelines on the pen-testing methodology and each of its sub-process has been written in clear and concise format divided into individual chapters. The book has distinguished itself from the rest based on several factors, such as the quality of the contents, exceptionally clear and realistic examples, and theoretical explanations behind each concept in the security field.

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. The new chapters are automatically added to your account, so you can also check back there any time you're ready and download or read them online.

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.
