When conducting penetration testing for network intrusion, your primary goal is to see what you can access and compromise. We'll identify different techniques and attack vectors to find vulnerabilities in a safe network to test on. We'll demonstrate possible ways using the Pineapple device to classify potential vulnerabilities. Keep in mind that this is a tool that can be used for protection as well as harm or used for illegal purposes, so just a reminder you must have permission and/or a safe test network on. We would like to mention to some readers who may wonder why this device isn't banned or illegal, since it is used for hacking, that besides the fact that the following attacks could be conducted using just a laptop, I like to use an analogy of using a knife which is something most people used for cooking and that some have used for hurting.

Overview of this book
Computer networks are increasing at an exponential rate and the most challenging factor organisations are currently facing is network security. Breaching a network is not considered an ingenious effort anymore, so it is very important to gain expertise in securing your network.
The book begins by showing you how to identify malicious network behaviour and improve your wireless security. We will teach you what network sniffing is, the various tools associated with it, and how to scan for vulnerable wireless networks. Then we’ll show you how attackers hide the payloads and bypass the victim’s antivirus.
Furthermore, we’ll teach you how to spoof IP / MAC address and perform an SQL injection attack and prevent it on your website. We will create an evil twin and demonstrate how to intercept network traffic. Later, you will get familiar with Shodan and Intrusion Detection and will explore the features and tools associated with it. Toward the end, we cover tools such as Yardstick, Ubertooth, Wifi Pineapple, and Alfa used for wireless penetration testing and auditing.
This book will show the tools and platform to ethically hack your own network whether it is for your business or for your personal home Wi-Fi.
