Ethical Hacking

The Ultimate Beginner’s Guide to Using Penetration Testing to Audit and Improve the Cyber Security of Computer Networks, Including Tips on Social Engineering

By: Lester Evans

Narrated by: Brian R. Scott

Ever feel like you don’t even own the hardware and software you paid dearly for?

Ever get the impression that you have to ask for permission before installing or changing a program on your device?

Ever feel like Facebook and Instagram are listening to your conversations to show you relevant ads?

You’re not alone.

Half-baked products and services that chip away at your sense of ownership, independence, and privacy are a part of a global wave of corporate indifference that micromanages and spies on honest, uniformed customers. None of it is intentional or meant to cause harm, which makes it all the more damning.

There’s a silver lining in all of this, and that is ethical hacking. This book will shine a light on how engineers think and show you how to discern their original intentions, helping you adopt their attitude and perfect their products despite managerial crud doing their worst to stop you.

In a world where everything is slowly becoming more managed and overbearing, this audiobook is an attempt to take back some of that original awesomeness envisioned by engineers and at least make your world a slightly better place.

Here’s just a tiny fraction of the topics covered in this audiobook:

• Fighting against companies
• Ethical hacking defined
• War on the internet
• Engineer’s mind
• The almighty EULA
• The danger of defaults
• John Deere
• Copyright
• YouTube ContentID
• Tracking users
• DRM
• GEMA, the copyright police
• Torrents
• Sports channels
• Megaupload and Anonymous
• Julian Assange
• Patents
• Penetration testing
• Jailbreaking Android/iPhone
• Shut up Cortana
• How an hacker could go about hacking your WiFi and much, much more!

Great for getting started on the yellow brick road

Excellent read and just enough materials to get pointed in the right direction, top book.

basic

Very basic and redundant. It was tough to finish only being 3 hours long. Will keep lookijg for the right one for me.

True to its title

This book does as promised - it gives the basics of penetration testing. When you're done reading this book you'll have an understanding of the most popular tools, be able to perform a pen test, interpret the results of your pen test, and shore up any cracks in your network/site.

useful and Worthy

Very easy to read, very fun and interesting! I'm more into databases but the way everything integrates now in the current IT world, I realized that I need to get a better understanding of how to protect my database servers network or at least, being able to discuss about security with my network team without feeling lost. This books is about how to protect yourself from the very "nasty" and "wild" Internet world we all are living in. It will change your false sense of security at work or home, trust me! Even though this is not an in-depth volume about the testing tools or techniques, this book delivers what is promised on the cover and much more!

A listing of tools

A good reference to look through - but it's not going to teach you anything like an actual recipe where you actually cook something and get an item you can eat. Should have been called Ethical Hacking.
