Penetration Testing with Raspberry Pi - Second Edition

Mapping our tools to the Penetration test Kill Chain

When we conduct our penetration tests, we are trying to mimic the actions an actual intruder or attacker would use to gain illicit access or otherwise compromise target systems. In this chapter, we'll discuss how we plan our penetration test, mimicking the Cyber Kill Chain discussed earlier that is often used to break down how hackers compromise their targets. For our purposes, we took some liberty with the Kill Chain and crafted the penetration test version. In this version, we did our best to show how different tools we are discussing in this tome help to get our Raspberry Pi through the entire operation:

In light of the Penetration test Kill Chain, it is helpful for us to understand what ...
