Re: Info about Pen Testing

[Christoph Puppe <puppe () hisolutions com>]

Salve,

I've started, 8 years ago, by reading from start to end the accumulated
volumes of "Hacking Exposed". Just by understanding past exploits, you can
see the various vectors of intrusion. Then you need to try a lot of the
stuff in this books, get a VMWare Workstation with many different targets
and hack them. Put a firewall between you and the targets to get a more
real live experience. Then read full-disclosure and bugtraq to learn about
new stuff. Read and analyse the exploit code found for example in
metasploit. Subscribe to feeds from it sec sites, to get new papers on new
vectors and types of exploits. Loads of stuff to try in your lab.

Ah, and the first two volumes of "How to own the ..." are very good as
well. Next books depend on what you specialize. Get the books that help you
to understand the services you want to attack in depth. Hacking is imho
always an example of understanding a software better than the programmers
of said binary.

Good luck ;)
