What people are saying
User Review –
Kali Linux is one of the most advanced and versatile penetrating testing distribution ever created. It is a Debian derived Linux distribution designed for digital forensics and penetration testing. Kali Linux, it may be added, is a GPL-compliant Linux distribution built by penetration testers for penetration testers with development staff consisting of individuals spanning different languages, regions, industries, and nationalities.
Lee Allen,Tedi Heriyanto and Shakeel Ali have, painstakingly revealed the industry’s best approach for logical and systematic penetrating testing process.
The book starts from the basics – lab penetration and testing procedures – and goes on to elaborate about the basic installation and configuration set up, discussing different types of penetration testing, uncovering open security testing methodologies and proposing Kali Linux specific testing process.
It is a ‘must go through’ book for IT security professionals. However, they must have a basic knowledge of Unix/Linux operating systems. They must also have an awareness of information security factors.
