Penetration testers simulate cyber attacks to find security weaknesses in networks, operating systems, and applications. Information security experts worldwide use penetration techniques to evaluate enterprise defenses.In Penetration Testing, security expert, researcher, and trainer Georgia Weidman introduces you to the core skills and techniques that every pentester needs. Using a virtual machine based lab that includes Kali Linux and vulnerable operating systems, you ll run through a series of practical lessons with tools like Wireshark, Nmap, and Burp Suite. As you follow along with the labs and launch attacks, you ll experience the key stages of an actual assessment including information gathering, finding exploitable vulnerabilities, gaining access to systems, post exploitation, and more.
Learn how to:
Crack passwords and wireless network keys with brute-forcing and wordlists
Test web applications for vulnerabilities
Use the Metasploit Framework to launch exploits and write your own Metasploit modules
Automate social-engineering attacks
Bypass antivirus software
Turn access to one machine into total control of the enterprise in the post exploitation phase
You ll even explore writing your own exploits. Then it s on to mobile hacking Weidman s particular area of research with her tool, the Smartphone Pentest Framework.
With its collection of hands-on lessons that cover key tools and strategies, Penetration Testing is the introduction that every aspiring hacker needs.
Companies pay penetration testers to hack into their cyber defenses and find security holes before malicious attackers get the chance. In Penetration Testing, security researcher and trainer Georgia Weidman provides readers with a survey of important skills for any aspiring pentester. This beginner-friendly book opens with some basics of programming and helps readers navigate Kali Linux, an operating system that comes preloaded with useful computer security tools like Wireshark and Metasploit. Readers learn about gathering information on a target, social engineering, capturing network traffic, analyzing vulnerabilities, developing exploits, and more. Hands-on examples discuss even advanced topics like mobile device security and bypassing anti-virus software.

"An excellent resource into the realm of penetration testing."
Xavier Mertins, TrueSec
"A sound introduction to pentesting."
ACM Computing Reviews
"A great book on infosec, detailing a large sum of computer penetration testing and exploitation."
Dan Borges, Lockboxx
"A great introduction to finding vulnerabilities in your system penetration testing made accessible, and well illustrated too."
MagPi Magazine
"This is one of the top books you must read if you are new to penetration testing . . . Not only is the book still relevant to the community, new courses are being created that center around this book. Including a new one taught by Georgia herself! And although Georgia is currently working on a new version, this book is still a must have in any hacker s collection."
Davin Jackson, Alpha Cyber Security, Books to Start Your Penetration Testing Journey
"Arguably, one of the best books I have ever read as a beginner. I learned about different domains of security and penetration testing, and the author never slipped from the point and got distracted. Overall, an excellent informational resource, a great introduction to penetration testing."
