Penetration Testing--New from No Starch Press
A Hands-On Introduction to Hacking
 
San Francisco, CA, June 3, 2014--In Penetration Testing (No Starch Press,
June 2014, 528 pp., $49.95, ISBN 9781593275648), computer security expert
and trainer Georgia Weidman introduces readers to the core skills and
techniques that every penetration tester needs.
http://post.oreilly.com/rd/9z1zconvc51dkr7jjtqietp3llcm90...

In this hands-on beginner's guide, readers build a Kali Linux-based virtual
lab to conduct a series of practice penetration tests. Weidman walks them
through finding and exploiting vulnerabilities in networks and operating
systems using industry-standard tools like Wireshark, Metasploit, Nessus,
Nmap, and more. Chapters on exploit development cover stack-based buffer
overflows; structured exception handler overwrites; and fuzzing, porting
exploits, and writing Metasploit modules.

Readers of Penetration Testing will learn how to:

- Crack passwords with brute-force attacks and wordlists
- Test web applications for vulnerabilities
- Use the Metasploit Framework to launch exploits and write Metasploit modules
- Automate social-engineering attacks to access secure networks
- Bypass antivirus software
- Secure successful penetration into a network during the post-exploitation
  phase

With its step-by-step discussions and coverage of key penetration testing
tools, Penetration Testing is sure to be the go-to introduction to the field
for anyone who wants to assess their own defenses or turn penetration
testing into a career.
