Build practical ethical hacking skills through realistic attack scenarios that reflect how security assessments are performed in real organizations. This book helps you move beyond theory by showing how vulnerabilities are discovered, exploited responsibly, and reported clearly.
Written by Glen D. Singh, a cybersecurity instructor and author with deep experience in offensive security, networking, and security operations, this book emphasizes practical skill development and responsible testing practices. You begin by learning ethical hacking principles, methodologies, and legal considerations before setting up a safe lab. Then you progress through reconnaissance, scanning, and enumeration to understand how attackers gather intelligence and how defenders reduce exposure. You’ll continue with vulnerability assessment, system hacking, malware basics, and network attacks using structured labs. As environments grow more complex, you will explore wireless attacks and the techniques used to assess and secure wireless networks. The final chapters focus on professional reporting and career development, showing how to present findings clearly and ethically. By the end of this book, you will be able to perform ethical hacking engagements from reconnaissance to reporting with confidence.
