On Jun 24, 2014 Javier M. Mellid wrote: Penetration Testing. A Hands-On Introduction to Hacking review
Penetration testing, also known as ‘pentesting’, is the activity of simulating real attacks to assess the risks associated with potential security breaches. On a pentest, the testers not only try to discover vulnerabilities but also exploit them in order to assess what attackers might gain after a successful exploitation.
This book is a basic introduction to hacking. It is a good source of material to persons starting in the pentesting world or looking for the right tools and approaches used by hackers. Full Review >

All this power and flexibility takes time to bring under control and it is where I find this kind of practical books helpful. Full Review >
