Title: Improving Your Penetration Testing Skills : Strengthen Your Defense Against Web Attacks with Kali Linux and Metasploit
Description: Evade antiviruses and bypass firewalls with the most widely used penetration testing frameworksKey FeaturesGain insights into the latest antivirus evasion techniquesSet up a complete pentesting environment using Metasploit and virtual machinesDiscover a variety of tools and techniques that can be used with Kali LinuxBook DescriptionPenetration testing or ethical hacking is a legal and foolproof way to identify vulnerabilities in your system. With thorough penetration testing, you can secure your system against the majority of threats.This Learning Path starts with an in-depth explanation of what hacking and penetration testing is. You'll gain a deep understanding of classical SQL and command injection flaws, and discover ways to exploit these flaws to secure your system. You'll also learn how to create and customize payloads to evade antivirus software and bypass an organization's defenses. Whether it's exploiting server vulnerabilities and attacking client systems, or compromising mobile phones and installing backdoors, this Learning Path will guide you through all this and more to improve your defense against online attacks.By the end of this Learning Path, you'll have the knowledge and skills you need to invade a system and identify all its vulnerabilities.This Learning Path includes content from the following Packt products:Web Penetration Testing with Kali Linux - Third Edition by Juned Ahmed Ansari and Gilberto Najera-GutierrezMetasploit Penetration Testing Cookbook - Third Edition by Abhinav Singh, Monika Agarwal, et alWhat you will learnBuild and analyze Metasploit modules in RubyIntegrate Metasploit with other penetration testing toolsUse server-side attacks to detect vulnerabilities in web servers and their applicationsExplore automated attacks such as fuzzing web applicationsIdentify the difference between hacking a web application and network hackingDeploy Metasploit with the Penetration Testing Execution Standard (PTES)Use MSFvenom to generate payloads and backdoor files, and create shellcodeWho this book is forThis Learning Path is designed for security professionals, web programmers, and pentesters who want to learn vulnerability exploitation and make the most of the Metasploit framework. Some understanding of penetration testing and Metasploit is required, but basic system administration skills and the ability to read code are a must.
