Gray Hat Hacking: The Ethical Hacker’s Handbook, Fifth Edition Pdf Book Description:

This book has been developed by and for security professionals who are dedicated to working in an ethical and responsible manner to improve the overall security posture of individuals, corporations, and nations. The purpose of this book is to provide individuals the information once held only by governments and a few black hat hackers. In this day and age, individuals stand in the breach of cyberwar, not only against black hat hackers, but sometimes against governments. If you find yourself in this position, either alone or as a defender of your organization, we want you to be equipped with as much knowledge of the attacker as possible. To that end, we submit to you the mindset of the gray hat hacker, an ethical hacker that uses offensive techniques for defensive purposes. The ethical hacker always respects laws and the rights of others, but believes the adversary may be beat to the punch by testing oneself first.

The authors of this book want to provide you, the reader, with something we believe the industry and society in general needs: a holistic review of ethical hacking that is responsible and truly ethical in its intentions and material. This is why we keep releasing new editions of this book with a clear definition of what ethical hacking is and is not something our society is very confused about. We have updated the material from the fourth edition and have attempted to deliver the most comprehensive and up-to-date assembly of techniques, procedures, and material with real hands-on labs that can be replicated by the readers. Thirteen new chapters are presented, and the other chapters have been updated. In Part I, we prepare you for the battle with all the necessary tools and techniques to get the best understanding of the more advanced topics. This section moves quite quickly but is necessary for those just starting out in the field and others looking to move to the next level.
