Learn Ethical Hacking from Scratch

Learn Ethical Hacking from Scratch

By: Sabih

Overview of this book

This book starts with the basics of ethical hacking, how to practice hacking safely and legally, and how to install and interact with Kali Linux and the Linux terminal. You will explore network hacking, where you will see how to test the security of wired and wireless networks. You’ll also learn how to crack the password for any Wi-Fi network (whether it uses WEP, WPA, or WPA2) and spy on the connected devices. Moving on, you will discover how to gain access to remote computer systems using client-side and server-side attacks. You will also get the hang of post-exploitation techniques, including remotely controlling and interacting with the systems that you compromised. Towards the end of the book, you will be able to pick up web application hacking techniques. You'll see how to discover, exploit, and prevent a number of website vulnerabilities, such as XSS and SQL injections. The attacks covered are practical techniques that work against real systems and are purely for educational purposes. At the end of each section, you will learn how to detect, prevent, and secure systems from these attacks.

Our scan is over and we are on the Assets page, and as we can see in the following screenshot we have one asset scanned. We can see that the asset is running Ubuntu, and the skill that we need to hack into this asset is Novice:

From the preceding screenshot, we can see that Nexpose shows us much more information than Metasploit Community, and it's a much more advanced vulnerability management framework.

We can see that we scanned one target, METASPLOITABLE, and the site is global. It's running on Ubuntu Linux 8.04, and we discovered no malware, 175 exploits, and 306 Vulnerabilities. Remember that with Metasploit Community we only discovered 1 exploitable vulnerability and 8 modules that can be used. Here, we discovered 306 vulnerabilities. We discovered many more vulnerabilities and exploits.

We can see that there is a risk factor, and the last time...
