In this chapter, we learned about passive versus active sniffing. We started by exploring wireless LANs in monitor mode, which allowed us to capture data without revealing our presence. We used Airodump-ng to organize the wireless environment and inform more precise sniffing with Wireshark. After exploring the basics with Wireshark, we moved on to advanced statistical analysis of both passive and active sniffing methods. For the active sniffing phase, we connected to a network (thus revealing our presence) and captured data visible to our card. We applied advanced display filters to hone in on interesting packets. within even very large network dumps. We then moved on to advanced Ettercap sniffing techniques, focusing on bridged sniffing with two interfaces. To demonstrate the power of this attack, we configured a malicious access point and set up our Kali box to function...

Overview of this book
Windows has always been the go-to platform for users around the globe to perform administration and ad hoc tasks, in settings that range from small offices to global enterprises, and this massive footprint makes securing Windows a unique challenge. This book will enable you to distinguish yourself to your clients.
In this book, you'll learn advanced techniques to attack Windows environments from the indispensable toolkit that is Kali Linux. We'll work through core network hacking concepts and advanced Windows exploitation techniques, such as stack and heap overflows, precision heap spraying, and kernel exploitation, using coding principles that allow you to leverage powerful Python scripts and shellcode.
We'll wrap up with post-exploitation strategies that enable you to go deeper and keep your access. Finally, we'll introduce kernel hacking fundamentals and fuzzing testing, so you can discover vulnerabilities and write custom exploits.
By the end of this book, you'll be well-versed in identifying vulnerabilities within the Windows OS and developing the desired solutions for them.
