Description

In this age, where online information is at its most vulnerable, knowing how to execute the same attacks that hackers use to break into your system or network helps you plug the loopholes before it's too late and can save you countless hours and money. Kali Linux is a Linux distribution designed for penetration testing and security auditing. It is the successor to BackTrack, the world's most popular penetration testing distribution. Discover a variety of popular tools of penetration testing, such as information gathering, vulnerability identification, exploitation, privilege escalation, and covering your tracks. Packed with practical recipes, this useful guide begins by covering the installation of Kali Linux and setting up a virtual environment to perform your tests. You will then learn how to eavesdrop and intercept traffic on wireless networks, bypass intrusion detection systems, and attack web applications, as well as checking for open ports, performing data forensics, and much more. The book follows the logical approach of a penetration test from start to finish with many screenshots and illustrations that help to explain each tool in detail. The Kali Linux Cookbook will serve as an excellent source of information for the security professional and novice alike!

as expected.

This book gives clear instructions on how to perform various tests with Kali (for example, the commands to perform a particular Metasploit exploit injection, or the flags to put with an Nmap scan to perform a Syn/Syn Ack scan) but it dosnt really say why you should do it. I think it would be better for people with less of a background in penetration testing to buy this book alongside a book explaining why they should be doing the things the book tells them to do. For example, get an explanation of what we want to accomplish with Banner Enumeration, and then read the 'recipe' in the cookbook for a type of banner grabbing scan.For me, though, its perfect. If I know I need to perform a Christmas Tree scan I can flick to the particular recipe and instantly jog my memory on the flags I need to issue to get than particular NMAP function.
