This book is a comprehensive guide to performing network penetration testing (a.k.a., ethical hacking) according to international standards such as, the Penetration Testing Execution Standard (PTES). The book is highly technical with practical demonstration and tutorials on using different open-source tools. The first module gives an introduction to penetration testing and explains the different standards available in the industry. Then, there is a small module on pre-engagement preparation - a necessary step in any ethical hacking engagement where you interact with your client and agree upon a scope.
Module three talks about intelligence gathering - a.k.a., reconnaissance and footprinting. We explain different important search engines: Google, Shodan, Pipl, Robtex, Builtwith, and Netcraft. Additionally, there is a great tutorial on Maltego, a multi-purpose intelligence gathering tool.
