Ethical Hacking: A Hands-on Introduction to Breaking In

28 minutes

A guide for understanding cybersecurity principles and ethical hacking techniques. It covers setting up a virtual lab environment with tools like Kali Linux and Metasploitable, then progresses through network fundamentals such as ARP spoofing, traffic analysis with Wireshark, and crafting TCP shells and botnets. The material also explores cryptography, including ransomware creation and secure communication protocols like Diffie-Hellman, and delves into social engineering tactics, open-source intelligence (OSINT) with tools like Maltego and Shodan, and various exploitation methods like fuzzing for zero-day vulnerabilities, building Trojans and rootkits, and web-based attacks such as SQL and XSS injection. Furthermore, the book details post-exploitation techniques like maintaining access to compromised systems, extracting password hashes, and navigating corporate Windows networks by understanding DNS, LDAP, and Kerberos, concluding with discussions on anonymity tools like Tor and Tails, securing virtual private servers (VPS), and emerging topics such as software-defined radios and quantum computation.
