Download PDF Instant Kali Linux : A Quick Guide to Learn Most Widely Used Operating System By Network Security Professionals By Abhinav Singh

Sinopsis

Welcome to Instant Kali Linux. This book is written to provide you with all the information that you need to set up and get started with Kali Linux. You will learn the basics of Kali, its directory structure, how to work with its popular tools, and so on.

The document contains the following sections:

So what is Kali Linux? introduces us to Kali, a Linux-based operating system specifically designed for penetration testing and computer forensics. It is a collection of a few open source software that are used by professionals and experts while dealing with real-life pen-testing scenarios.

Installation helps us to learn how to download and install Kali Linux with minimal fuss and how to set up our own pen-testing lab.

Quick start – getting your tools right shows us how to perform different tasks using the different software tools that are available in Kali. We will also cover some topics that are essential to start the journey of pen-testing using Kali Linux.

Top 5 features you'll want to know about will help you learn how to perform different tasks with the most important features of Kali Linux. By the end of this section, you will be able to use Kali's tools to do the following:

• Scanning and gathering information using Nmap
• Breaking wireless networks using Aircrack
• Pen-testing web applications using Burp Suite
• Getting started with the Metasploit Exploitation Framework
• Performing automated SQL injection attacks using sqlmap
• Performing digital forensics using Kali Linux

People and places you should get to know provides you with many useful links to project pages and forums, as well as a number of helpful articles, tutorials, and blogs. It also gives links to the Twitter feeds of Kali Linux super contributors and open source hackers.

Download Learning Metasploit Exploitation and Development By Aditya Balapure

Sinopsis

In this chapter we are going to demonstrate the complete lab setup needed for the practical, hands-on working experience with this book. To set up the lab we need three things: Oracle VM VirtualBox, Microsoft Windows XP SP2, and BackTrack 5 R2.

Oracle VM VirtualBox is a product of Sun Microsystems. It is a software virtualization application and is used for running multiple operating systems on a single computer. It supports many operating systems including Linux, Macintosh, Sun Solaris, BSD, and OS/2. Each virtual machine can execute its own operating system in parallel with the host operating system. It also supports Network adapters, USB devices, and Physical disk drives within a virtual machine.

Microsoft Windows XP is an operating system produced by the Microsoft Corporation. It is primarily used for personal computers and laptops.

BackTrack is a Linux-based freeware operating system. It is widely used by security professionals and penetration testers. It consists of a lot of open source tools for penetration testing and digital forensics.

Now we will install both operating systems in Oracle VM VirtualBox, and use BackTrack as an attacker machine and Windows XP as the victim machine.

Sinopsis

This section outlines the need for a framework such as Metasploit in a penetration tester's arsenal. But before we dive into the framework, let's understand how the framework has evolved. The following are some basic concepts that will be frequently used in this book:

• Vulnerability: In simple terms, vulnerability is a loophole in the system. It acts as a channel for an attacker to penetrate the system, which in other words is called exploitation.
• Exploit: I would recursively define this term as any working piece of code that is used to exploit a vulnerable system.
• Payload: An attacker exploits a system with a purpose. So, after a successful exploit whatever he/she intends to do with the system stands for payload. In other words, the payload is any working piece of code bundled with an exploit to aid the attacker in the post-exploitation phase.

I have defined these terms right at the beginning because these terms will be used very often throughout this book.

In the IT industry, we have various flavors of operating systems ranging from Mac, Windows, *nix platforms, and other server operating systems, which run an n number of services depending on the needs of the organization. When given a task to assess the risk factor of any organization, it becomes very tedious to run single code snippets against these systems. What if, due to some hardware failure, all these code snippets are lost? Enter Metasploit.

Download PDF Metasploit Penetration Testing Cookbook By Monika Agarwal And Abniav Singh

Sinopsis

Welcome to Metasploit Penetration Testing Cookbook, Second Edition. This book covers various recipes of performing penetration testing over different platforms (including a Wireless network and VoIP) using BackTrack 5 R3. The book starts with the basics of gathering information about your target and gradually covers advanced topics, such as building your own framework scripts and modules.

The book goes deep into operating-systems-based penetration testing techniques and moves ahead with client-based exploitation methodologies. In the post-exploitation phase, it covers Meterpreter, antivirus bypassing, Ruby wonders, exploit building, porting exploits to framework, and pentesting while dealing with VoIP, Wireless, and so on. This book will help readers in thinking from a hacker's perspective, to dig out the flaws in target networks and also to leverage the powers of Metasploit to compromise them. It will take your penetration skills to the next level. It covers advanced Meterpreter usage for token impersonation and WinAPI manipulation, ESPIA, Incognito attack, injecting the VNC server remotely, exploiting vulnerable PHP applications, and much more.

It will help in setting up a complete penetration testing environment using Metasploit and virtual machines, building and analyzing Meterpreter scripts in Ruby, pentesting VoIP, WLAN from start to end including information gathering, vulnerability assessment, and exploitation and privilege escalation phases. The reader will become familiar with penetration testing based on client-side exploitation techniques with detailed analysis of vulnerabilities and codes.
