Ethical Hacking: A Comprehensive Beginner's Guide to Learn and Understand the Realms of Ethical Hacking is an introduction to performing a penetration test, or an ethical hack from beginning to end.

Hacking can feel daunting at times and even intimidating to beginners because of the stigma it still carries in society, but this book teaches students how to use hacking tools and techniques properly and ethically. It provides a clear explanation of every step of the way so that any aspiring hacker can understand all concepts and practice what they learn.

Every chapter contains examples and definitions that are easy to follow and understand. The student will learn the basics of hacking, how to operate Linux and use terminal commands, followed by an extensive guide on how to perform all the steps of a penetration test.

Here's what students will gain from reading this beginner-friendly book:

  • The basics of hacking, terminology, cyberlaw, and what a penetration test actually is.
  • The penetration test methodology. Each chapter will guide you through information gathering techniques, vulnerability scanning, exploitation, and access maintenance.
  • Students will also learn the importance of writing a professional penetration test report. The game is not over when authentications are bypassed and systems controlled.

Open your mind to an entire world of possibilities and learn how to become an ethical hacker!
