Ethical Hacking Introduction

Description

Security testing finds weaknesses before an attacker does, but only when it is done with permission. These seven PDF lessons begin with ethical hacking fundamentals, then explain how to set up a first security testing lab and which tools are used for penetration testing.

You read about network scanning and vulnerability assessment, password cracking and access techniques, and web application security testing. The final lesson covers reporting and legal considerations. Exercises and tables in the PDFs describe each technique. Only test systems you own or have written permission to test, since unauthorized testing is illegal in most places.

Who it is for: people with basic IT knowledge who want to understand how security testing works and where its legal limits lie.
