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.

Fake bdm1 updates

Although we have an undetectable backdoor, we still haven't found a smart and efficient way to deliver it to the target machine. In real life, a target probably won't download an executable and run it if we ask them to, so we're now going to look at how to fake an update that the user will want to download and install on their machine.

This scenario will work as long as we are in the middle of a connection, for example, when using a fake network, when implementing a man-in-the-middle attack, or when redirecting traffic via a mobile phone.

In this scetion, we are going to cover DNS spoofing with ARP poisoning. This will mean we're in the same network as the target machine, which in this example is wired and not wireless. We'll use a tool called Evilgrade to act as a server to produce the fake update. You can install Evilgrade at the following...
