Building Virtual Pentesting Labs for Advanced Penetration Testing - Second Edition

Summary

In this chapter, we have discussed the creation of a layered architecture and the need for building segmented networks in our testing. Following the discussion of creating a layered architecture, we looked at the integration of decoys and honeypots to include the BackOfficer Friendly tool, Labrea tarpit, and KFSensor.

Following this, we looked at the process of attacking our architecture and expressed the technique of attacking the targets directly and on a flat network before we add protections and layers to penetrate them.

Finally, we closed the chapter and looked at recording the attack data and also replaying the files that we created or downloaded from the Internet on our network using the tcpreplay command-line tool and the Colasoft ...
