This book holds no punches and explains the tools, tactics and procedures used by ethical hackers and criminal crackers alike.
We will take you on a journey through a hacker's perspective when focused on the computer infrastructure of a target company, exploring how to access the servers and data. Once the information gathering stage is complete, you'll look for flaws and their known exploits--including tools developed by real-world government financed state-actors.

- Written by infosec experts with proven history of publishing vulnerabilities and highlighting security flaws
- Based on the tried and tested material used to train hackers all over the world in the art of breaching networks
- Covers the fundamental basics of how computer networks are inherently vulnerable to attack, teaching the student how to apply hacking skills to uncover vulnerabilities
We cover topics of breaching a company from the external network perimeter, hacking internal enterprise systems and web application vulnerabilities. Delving into the basics of exploitation with real-world practical examples, you won't find any hypothetical academic only attacks here. From start to finish this book will take the student through the steps necessary to breach an organization to improve its security.
Written by world-renowned cybersecurity experts and educators, Hands-On Hacking teaches entry-level professionals seeking to learn ethical hacking techniques.

There was a lot to take in here, but this was a fun read. I'm sure it wasn't meant to be a fun read and the authors had things other than fun on their mind when writing it. But all of the various ways you can hack and crack - legally - is mind-boggling, as are the methods you can utilise to defend yourself against it. An enlightening read.
