This book is affectionately dedicated to all IT experts, professionals, and students.
This book is designed to provide you with the knowledge, tactics, and tools needed to prepare for the Certified Ethical Hacker (CEH) exam—a qualification that tests the cybersecurity professional’s baseline knowledge of security threats, risks, and countermeasures through lectures and hands-on labs.
You will review the organized certified hacking mechanism along with stealthy network recon, passive traffic detection, privilege escalation, vulnerability recognition, remote access, spoofing, impersonation, brute force threats, and cross-site scripting. The book covers policies for penetration testing and requirements for documentation.
This book uses a unique “lesson” format with objectives and instruction to succinctly review each major topic, including footprinting, reconnaissance, scanning networks, system hacking, sniffers and social engineering, session hijacking, Trojans and backdoor viruses and worms, hacking web servers, SQL injection, buffer overflow, evading IDS, firewalls, and honeypots, and much more.
What You Will Learn
Understand the concepts associated with footprinting
Perform active and passive reconnaissance
Identify enumeration countermeasures
Be familiar with virus types, virus detection methods, and virus countermeasures
Know the proper order of steps used to conduct a session hijacking attack
Identify defensive strategies against SQL injection attacks
Analyze internal and external network traffic using an intrusion detection system
