This chapter concluded the different attack surfaces of Linux infrastructure, starting from the basic Linux commands, especially those necessary to perform system footprinting and enumeration. In later sections, we had the chance not only to learn the latest Linux exploitation techniques in addition to real-world study cases, but to also understand the theories and concepts behind every Linux security layer. We didn't stop there; as penetration testers, we had the opportunity to discover how to exploit the inner core of a Linux infrastructure. At the end of this chapter, we gained skills to operate and secure a Linux infrastructure from both an attacker and a defender's perspective. The next chapter will broaden your vision, giving you a clear understanding about how to penetrate large corporate networks and databases, from networking refresher terminologies...
Advanced Infrastructure Penetration Testing
Advanced Infrastructure Penetration Testing
Overview of this book
It has always been difficult to gain hands-on experience and a comprehensive understanding of advanced penetration testing techniques and vulnerability assessment and management. This book will be your one-stop solution to compromising complex network devices and modern operating systems. This book provides you with advanced penetration testing techniques that will help you exploit databases, web and application servers, switches or routers, Docker, VLAN, VoIP, and VPN.
With this book, you will explore exploitation abilities such as offensive PowerShell tools and techniques, CI servers, database exploitation, Active Directory delegation, kernel exploits, cron jobs, VLAN hopping, and Docker breakouts. Moving on, this book will not only walk you through managing vulnerabilities, but will also teach you how to ensure endpoint protection. Toward the end of this book, you will also discover post-exploitation tips, tools, and methodologies to help your organization build an intelligent security system.
By the end of this book, you will have mastered the skills and methodologies needed to breach infrastructures and provide complete endpoint protection for your system.
