Pre-requisites and Scope
This book is geared towards computer security professionals that want to increase their skills at cracking passwords. It is also written for the cybersecurity student who wants to learn more about password security. The book assumes that the reader is already familiar with basic Windows and Linux security topics, and is comfortable with using Kali Linux. Though the introduction section on Windows Kerberos theory is rather challenging, it is a very complex topic, the rest of the book is written so if someone isn’t that familiar with the topic, they can, “learn by doing”. This book is part of my, “Security Testing with Kali Linux” series. I highly suggest the reader be familiar with the topics in both my Basic and Advanced Security Testing with Kali Linux books before tackling this one.
