Hacking for Dummies by K Beaver
"Ethical hacking" is the process of entering into a hacker's mindset in order to spot system vulnerabilities by performing typical hacks in a controlled environment. This book helps security professionals understand how malicious users think and work, enabling administrators to defend their systems against attacks and to identify security vulnerabilities; shows readers how to approach their system security from the hacker's perspective and perform nondestructive penetration testing; helps the reader develop an ethical hacking plan, and examines typical attacks and how to counteract them; and guides readers through reporting vulnerabilities to upper management, managing security changes, automating the ethical hacking process, and training end-users to avoid being victimized.
