Learn how to hack systems like black hat hackers and secure them like security expertsKey FeaturesUnderstand how computer systems work and their vulnerabilitiesExploit weaknesses and hack into machines to test their securityLearn how to secure systems from hackersBook DescriptionThis book starts with the basics of ethical hacking, how to practice hacking safely and legally, and how to install and interact with Kali Linux and the Linux terminal. You will explore network hacking, where you will see how to test the security of wired and wireless networks. You’ll also learn how to crack the password for any Wi-Fi network (whether it uses WEP, WPA, or WPA2) and spy on the connected devices.Moving on, you will discover how to gain access to remote computer systems using client-side and server-side attacks. You will also get the hang of post-exploitation techniques, including remotely controlling and interacting with the systems that you compromised. Towards the end of the book, you will be able to pick up web application hacking techniques. You’ll see how to discover, exploit, and prevent a number of website vulnerabilities, such as XSS and SQL injections.The attacks covered are practical techniques that work against real systems and are purely for educational purposes. At the end of each section, you will learn how to detect, prevent, and secure systems from these attacks.What you will learnUnderstand ethical hacking and the different fields and types of hackersSet up a penetration testing lab to practice safe and legal hackingExplore Linux basics, commands, and how to interact with the terminalAccess password-protected networks and spy on connected clientsUse server and client-side attacks to hack and control remote computersControl a hacked system remotely and use it to hack other systemsDiscover, exploit, and prevent a number of web application vulnerabilities such as XSS and SQL injectionsWho this book is forLearning Ethical Hacking from Scratch is for anyone interested in learning how to hack and test the security of systems like professional hackers and security experts.Table of ContentsIntroduction Setting up The Lab Linux Basics Network Penetration Testing Network Penetration Testing – Pre Connection Attacks Network Penetration Testing – Gaining Access (WEP WPA WPA2 Cracking) Post Connection Attacks Man-in-the-middle AttacksNetwork Penetration Testing – Detection and u0026 Security Gaining Access to Computer DevicesScanning vulnerabilities using ToolsClient Side Attacks Client Side Attacks – Social Engineering Attack and Detect Trojans with BeEFAttacks Outside The Local Network Post Exploitation Website Penetration Testing Website Pentesting – Information Gathering File Upload, Code Execution and u0026 File Inclusion Vulns SQL Injection Vulnerabilities Cross Site Scripting Vulnerabilities Website Pentesting – Discovering Vulnerabilities Automatically Using OWASP ZAP
