A hands-on introduction to penetration-testing workflow
This revised second edition organizes ethical hacking and penetration testing around a four-step process, moving from reconnaissance through the use and interpretation of security-testing results. Hands-on examples and exercises connect each phase to the next, emphasizing how findings inform later work rather than presenting tools in isolation. Coverage includes reconnaissance utilities, network scanning, vulnerability assessment, exploitation frameworks, and related tools such as Nmap, Nessus, Metasploit, Netcat, and BackTrack Linux. The book also presents classroom-oriented PowerPoint materials, making its practical instruction adaptable to structured learning environments.
Good fit for readers who enjoy
- Students seeking an introductory, exercise-based penetration-testing text
- Beginning information-security professionals building familiarity with offensive-security tools
- Security consultants wanting a structured overview of penetration-test stages
