Description
Convert Android to a powerful pentesting platform.
Key Features
Get up and running with Kali Linux NetHunter
Connect your Android device and gain full control over Windows, OSX, or Linux devices
Crack Wi-Fi passwords and gain access to devices connected over the same network collecting intellectual data
Book DescriptionKali NetHunter is a version of the popular and powerful Kali Linux pentesting platform, designed to be installed on mobile devices. Hands-On Penetration Testing with Kali NetHunter will teach you the components of NetHunter and how to install the software. You'll also learn about the different tools included and how to optimize and use a package, obtain desired results, perform tests, and make your environment more secure.
Starting with an introduction to Kali NetHunter, you will delve into different phases of the pentesting process. This book will show you how to build your penetration testing environment and set up your lab. You will gain insight into gathering intellectual data, exploiting vulnerable areas, and gaining control over target systems. As you progress through the book, you will explore the NetHunter tools available for exploiting wired and wireless devices. You will work through new ways to deploy existing tools designed to reduce the chances of detection. In the concluding chapters, you will discover tips and best practices for integrating security hardening into your Android ecosystem.
By the end of this book, you will have learned to successfully use a mobile penetration testing device based on Kali NetHunter and Android to accomplish the same tasks you would traditionally, but in a smaller and more mobile form factor.
What you will learn
Choose and configure a hardware device to use Kali NetHunter
Use various tools during pentests
Understand NetHunter suite components
Discover tips to effectively use a compact mobile platform
Create your own Kali NetHunter-enabled device and configure it for optimal results
Learn to scan and gather information from a target
Explore hardware adapters for testing and auditing wireless networks and Bluetooth devices
Who this book is forHands-On Penetration Testing with Kali NetHunter is for pentesters, ethical hackers, and security professionals who want to learn to use Kali NetHunter for complete mobile penetration testing and are interested in venturing into the mobile domain. Some prior understanding of networking assessment and Kali Linux will be helpful.
