Penetration tests and exploitations

With the skyrocketing number of Internet users, the risk of attacks on your corporate network, web applications or wireless networks is growing disproportionately. Penetration testing, which would detect weak points in IT infrastructure as a preventive measure, is therefore becoming an increasing priority. This necessity goes hand in hand with the need to have guidance, methodology and tools to ensure effective testing.

In this book, the author presents an overview and information on penetration testing in an easy-to-understand way that you will be able to use years later. It focuses not only on different testing methods, but also on specific applications that can be used for testing different areas. For each application discussed, you will learn its basic use and be able to study a sample test with a listing. The individual chapters have a similar structure based on the general methodology developed for penetration testing.

• Penetration test methodology and tools
• Tests to verify security from outside the corporate network
• Internal penetration testing of corporate networks
• Penetration testing of wireless networks
• Penetration testing of web applications

In order not to leave the reader deprived of further details that did not fit into this publication, the author has tried to provide a large number of references to more detailed information.
