What you need for this book

In order to practice the material presented in this book, you will need a virtualization tool such as VMware or VirtualBox.

You will need to download and configure the Kali Linux operating system and its suite of tools. To ensure that it is up to date and that you have all of the tools, you will need access to an internet connection.

Sadly, not all of the tools on the Kali Linux system will be addressed, since there are too many of them. The focus of this book is not to overwhelm the reader with all of the tools and options, but to provide an approach to testing that will give them the opportunity to learn and incorporate new tools as their experiences and knowledge develop over time.

Although most of the examples in this book focus on Microsoft Windows, the methodology and most of the tools are transferable to other operating systems, such as Linux and the other flavors of Unix.

Finally, this book applies Kali to complete the attacker's kill chain against target systems. You will need a target operating system. Many of the examples in the book use Microsoft Windows 7 and Windows 2008 R2.
