The purpose of this book is to introduce readers to the capabilities of Kali Linux through the lens of security testing. The idea is to help you better understand how and why things work. Kali Linux is a security-focused Linux distribution, so it is popular with people who test security or use penetration testing as a hobby or a calling. With this book, you will: Learn tools for quickly testing network stacks and applications; Run reconnaissance networks to identify system weaknesses accessible to hackers; Perform penetration tests using Metasploit; Learn how to create product testing reports; Develop your own attack methods using Kali tools and much more. Pros: Relevant material; Broad target audience; A large number of examples. With over 600 security tools in its arsenal, the Kali Linux distribution can be overwhelming. Both experienced and novice security professionals may have a hard time choosing the most appropriate tool for a given test. This practical book covers the extensive security capabilities of KALI and helps you identify the tools you need to perform a wide range of security and penetration tests. You'll also look at the vulnerabilities that make these tests necessary. Author Rick Messier introduces you to the basics of Kali Linux and explains how to test networks, web applications, wireless security, password vulnerabilities, and more. You'll discover various methods for extending Kali's tools and creating your own toolset. Learn tools to stress test network stacks and applications Conduct network reconnaissance to determine what is available to attackers Perform penetration tests with automated exploit tools like Metasploit Use cracking tools to check if passwords meet complexity requirements Test wireless network capabilities by injecting frames and cracking passwords Assess web application vulnerabilities with automated or proxy-based tools Create advanced attack methods by extending Kali tools or developing your own Use Kali Linux to generate reports after testing is complete
