PREFACE
This book
has been developed by and for security professionals who are dedicated to
working in
an ethical and responsible manner to improve the overall security posture
of
individuals, corporations, and nations.
INTRODUCTION
The goal
of this book is to help produce more highly skilled security professionals
who are
dedicated to protecting against malicious hacking activity. It has been proven
over and
over again that it is important to understand one’s enemies, including their
tactics,
skills, tools, and motivations. Corporations and nations have enemies that are
very
dedicated and talented. We must work together to understand the enemies’
processes
and
procedures to ensure that we can properly thwart their destructive and
malicious
behavior.
The
authors of this book want to provide the readers with something we believe the
industry
needs: a holistic review of ethical hacking that is responsible and truly
ethical
in its
intentions and material. This is why we are starting this book with a clear
definition
of what
ethical hacking is and is not—something society is very confused about.
We have
updated the material from the first and second editions and have attempted
to deliver
the most comprehensive and up-to-date assembly of techniques, procedures,
and
material. Nine new chapters are presented and the other chapters have been
updated.
If you are
ready to take the next step to advance and deepen your understanding of
ethical
hacking, this is the book for you.
