Description
- Penetration testing is a special skill in which penetrators (acting as hackers) attempt to circumvent the security features of a system in order to "break" the system and its code
- After a review of Web applications and their protocols, the book covers vulnerability analysis, attack simulation, and results analysis, the elements of successful pen testing
- Features installation guidance for Linux Fedora, VMWare, Apache, MySQL, PHP, Perl, JBoss, and much more
- The timing of this book is crucial-American corporations lose as much as $300 billion a year to every form of hacking, cracking, physical security breaches, and other criminal activities
- The companion Web site shows readers how to build their own pen testing lab, including the installation of traps used to detect or deflect attempts to use information without authorization
