About this ebook
Ethical hacking, also known as penetration testing or white-hat hacking, is a practice of deliberately probing and assessing the security of computer systems, networks, applications, and other digital environments in order to identify vulnerabilities and weaknesses that could potentially be exploited by malicious hackers. The primary goal of ethical hacking is to proactively uncover these vulnerabilities before they can be exploited by unauthorized individuals or groups, thereby helping organizations strengthen their security measures and protect their sensitive information. Key aspects of ethical hacking include: Authorization: Ethical hackers must obtain proper authorization from the owner or administrator of the system before conducting any tests. This ensures that the testing process remains within legal and ethical boundaries. Methodology: Ethical hacking involves a systematic and structured approach to identify vulnerabilities. This includes various techniques like network scanning, penetration testing, social engineering, and vulnerability assessment. Scope: The scope of an ethical hacking engagement is defined before the testing begins. It outlines the systems, applications, and networks that will be tested. Staying within the defined scope ensures that only authorized systems are tested. Information Gathering: Ethical hackers gather information about the target systems, including their architecture, software versions, and potential weak points. This information helps them plan their testing approach. Vulnerability Analysis: Ethical hackers use various tools and techniques to identify vulnerabilities, misconfigurations, and weak points in the target systems. These vulnerabilities could include software bugs, insecure configurations, or design flaws. Exploitation: In a controlled environment, ethical hackers might attempt to exploit the identified vulnerabilities to demonstrate the potential impact of a real attack. However, they stop short of causing...

Attacks After Connecting
Previously, the attacks we discussed were done without being connected to any network. Now, we'll focus on attacks that occur after connecting to a network. Whether it's a wired or wireless network, and whether the target uses WEP or WPA key, the attacks we'll discuss here apply to all scenarios.
In the previous attacks, we used our wireless card to capture data from the air in monitor mode. However, since we're now connected to the network, we'll switch to managed mode. This way, we'll only capture packets meant for us, as we don't need to capture everything anymore.
In this section, we'll explore attacks we can carry out once we've breached the network. We'll start by using a tool called netdiscover
to gather essential information about the network. This information will serve as a foundation for launching further attacks. Netdiscover helps us discover all connected clients. Following that, we'll introduce Zenmap,
which offers a more advanced interface and greater capabilities than netdiscover. Zenmap allows us to gather detailed information about all clients on the same network.
Netdiscover Tool
Netdiscover is a tool used for gathering crucial information about a network. It provides details about the connected devices and the router. For connected devices, you can find their IP addresses, MAC addresses, operating systems, and open ports. Regarding the router, you can identify its manufacturer. This information helps identify potential vulnerabilities that could be exploited against the clients or the router. In the context of network penetration testing, we previously
