In this chapter, we majorly focused on how we can attack the external network and to implement this attack. We studied a few fundamentals such as port forwarding, which means redirecting the request from one port to the other. We even studied external backdoors and also how to exploit them, and we saw they are not different to internal backdoors. Then, moving ahead to another aspect of attacking the network, we learned about IP forwarding, wherein we saw how to determine the path through which the packet flows. We also implemented real-life examples to see how this works. In the next chapter, we are going to look at techniques to access the victim's system even after they are not running software on their system.

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.
