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.

In this section, let's see how we can build up an attack strategy against our target, which is a person named Zaid. Before we move ahead, we will organize the workspace so that we can come up with ideas. For our example, we are going to keep only the useful information such as Udemy. We are going to put Zaid, who is our main entity, at the top, and then just click and drag an arrow from the email address so that we know that Zaid is associated with the [email protected] address. Zaid is associated with the [email protected] email, which led us to isecur1ty.org. And then we're going to add another arrow from Zaid to his Twitter account, so that we know that this Twitter account is associated with this person, and we have an entity here of Udemy. We also know that Mohammed Askar's email is [email protected], and this email...
