This is the first book in a
series of books designed to educate security professionals or anyone with an
interest in how hacking techniques are conducted, and what countermeasures
are available. Hundreds of screenshots are included, which duplicate each
lab and are easy to follow.
It was also important for me to create
Practical Hacking Techniques and
Countermeasures
from the ground-up perspective. As you progress through
the book the techniques and tools become progressively more advanced and
follow the standard methodology of how an attacker would approach your
own network or computer. I also designed
Practical Hacking Techniques and
Countermeasures
to use the exact same tools used by today??™s hacker. This is
by no means a conclusive list because tools are added or become obsolete
all the time, however, I have provided an excellent foundation for every reader
to practice his or her security skills and the reality is most tools used by hackers
are either open source (free), custom written (programmer), stolen (warez),
or a combination of all three. The accompanying CD provides 95 percent free
tools and demo or trial versions of commercially available security software.
I have also developed a Web site for
Practical Hacking Techniques and
Countermeasures
to support my readers, as well as inform them of upcoming
books, special offers, my schedule of security seminar locations, HackSym, and
a members section that provides tools, advanced portions of the next book in
production, forums to assist in any lab questions, a live chat area where I will
schedule and make appearances, and much more.
