Advanced Infrastructure Penetration Testing

Overview of this book

It has always been difficult to gain hands-on experience and a comprehensive understanding of advanced penetration testing techniques and vulnerability assessment and management. This book will be your one-stop solution to compromising complex network devices and modern operating systems. This book provides you with advanced penetration testing techniques that will help you exploit databases, web and application servers, switches or routers, Docker, VLAN, VoIP, and VPN. With this book, you will explore exploitation abilities such as offensive PowerShell tools and techniques, CI servers, database exploitation, Active Directory delegation, kernel exploits, cron jobs, VLAN hopping, and Docker breakouts. Moving on, this book will not only walk you through managing vulnerabilities, but will also teach you how to ensure endpoint protection.

Summary

This chapter was a simple and clear guide to help developers, manufacturers, and penetration testers to build and secure IoT projects. We started by discovering the IoT ecosystem, and the different components of a typical IoT project. We saw the threats faced by an IoT project in addition to the required steps to ensure the security of an IoT environment. At this point, you acquired the technical skills and the suitable mindset to perform a penetration testing mission efficiently. You will now be able to protect modern organization infrastructure from today's threats and attacks, and deploy the suitable safeguards against these attacks.
