Learn Ethical Hacking from Scratch

What is a network?

The first penetration testing section that we are going to cover is network penetration testing. Most of the systems and computers that we are going to try to gain access to will be connected to a network, whether it's a device, a computer, a phone, or simply any device connected to the internet. Therefore, you need to learn how devices interact with each other in a network, as well as how networks work, before you can advance into different types of penetration testing.

Network penetration testing can be divided into four main sections:

1. Pre-connection
2. Gaining access
3. Post-connection
4. Detection and security

Both the first section (pre-connection) and the second section (gaining access) are geared toward wireless networks. ...
