This edition also includes new emphasis on ethics and legal issues. The world of information security is changing every day – readers are provided with a clear differentiation between hacking myths and hacking facts. Straightforward in its approach, this comprehensive resource teaches the skills needed to go from hoping a system is secure to knowing that it is.

Protect your system or web application with this accessible guide Penetration tests, also known as ‘pen tests’, are a means of assessing the security of a computer system by simulating a cyber-attack. These tests can be an essential tool in detecting exploitable vulnerabilities in a computer system or web application, averting potential user data breaches, privacy violations, losses of system function, and more. With system security an increasingly fundamental part of a connected world, it has never been more important that cyber professionals understand the pen test and its potential applications. Pen Testing from Contract to Report offers a step-by-step overview of the subject. Built around a new concept called the Penetration Testing Life Cycle, it breaks the process into phases, guiding the reader through each phase and its potential to expose and address system vulnerabilities. The result is an essential tool in the ongoing fight against harmful system intrusions. In Pen Testing from Contract to Report readers will also find: Content mapped to certification exams such as the CompTIA PenTest+Detailed techniques for evading intrusion detection systems, firewalls, honeypots, and moreAccompanying software designed to enable the reader to practice the concepts outlined, as well as end-of-chapter questions and case studiesPen Testing from Contract to Report is ideal for any cyber security professional or advanced student of cyber security.
