Advanced Penetration Testing - Hacking the World’s Most Secure Networks Download PDF

Introduction

There is an old yet erroneous belief that fortune favors the brave. Fortune has and always will favor the prepared. When your organization experiences a serious security incident (and it will), it's your level of preparedness based on the understanding of the inevitability of such an event that will guide a successful recovery. It doesn't matter if you're responsible for the security of a local community college or if you're the CISO of an international bank—this fact will always remain true.

About The Author

Wil Allsopp always liked taking things apart. Sometimes he was able to put
them back together again. He wandered into penetration testing like some
people wander into bars (another activity close to his heart). A chance
encounter with a like-minded individual in the 't Stadscafe Zaltbommel in
1999 led to him resigning his IBM software development contract and
forming his first company, called Tigerteam Security NV, which for reasons
lost to time was incorporated in Curaçao. At least that's how he remembers it.
Nearly 20 years later, he's still breaking things, with the important difference
that some of the most prestigious companies in the world are paying him to
do so.
He lives in The Netherlands with his wife and a large menagerie of cats, dogs,
chickens, and a toad named Malcolm.

What's in this Book 

• Chapter 1, “Medical Records (In)Security,” discusses attacks to hospital infrastructure with concepts such as macro attacks and man-in-the-browser techniques. Introduction to Command & Control (C2) is explored.

• Chapter 2, “Stealing Research,” will explore attacks using Java Applets and more advanced C2 within the context of an attack against a research university.

• Chapter 3, “Twenty-First Century Heist,” considers ways of penetrating high-security targets such as banks and highly advanced C2 techniques using the DNS protocol.

• Chapter 4, “Pharma Karma,” examines an attack against a pharmaceutical company and against this backdrop introduces client-side exploits and integrating third-party frameworks such as Metasploit into your C2.

• Chapter 5, “Guns and Ammo,” examines ransomware simulation and using Tor hidden services to mask the physical location of the C2 infrastructure.

• Chapter 6, “Criminal Intelligence,” uses the backdrop of an intrusion against a police HQ to illustrate the use of “creeper” boxes for long-term engagements where temporary physical access is possible. Other concepts such as privilege escalation and deploying attacks using HTML applications are introduced.

• Chapter 7, “War Games,” discusses an attack against a classified data network and explains concepts such as open source intelligence gathering and advanced concepts in Command & Control.

• Chapter 8, “Hack Journalists,” shows how to attack a publisher and use their own technologies and workflows against them. Emerging rich media content and experimental C2 methodologies are considered. Advanced concepts in social engineering are introduced.

• Chapter 9, “Northern Exposure,” is a hypothetical attack against a hostile rogue state by a government Tailored Access Operations (TAO) team. North Korea is used as a convenient example. We discuss advanced discreet network mapping and means of attacking smartphones, including the creation of hostile code for iOS and Android phones.
