Description
Penetration testing a network requires a delicate balance of art and science. A penetration tester must be creative enough to think outside of the box to determine the best attack vector into his own network, and also be expert in using the literally hundreds of tools required to execute the plan. This second volume adds over 300 new pen testing applications to the pen tester's toolkit. It includes the latest information on Snort, Nessus, Wireshark, Metasploit, Kismet and all of the other major Open Source platforms. It also includes "BackTrack2" on CD, a set of pen testing tools that complements those found on the "Auditor" CD that comes with Volume 1.
The authors of the book are expert penetration testers who have developed many of the leading pen testing tools such as the Metasploit framework. The authors allow the reader inside their heads to unravel the mysteries of things like cross scripting attacks, fuzzing tools, Google hacks, and more.
