About This Book

About This Book
Hacking For Dummies is a reference guide on hacking computers and network
systems. The ethical hacking techniques are based on the unwritten rules of
computer system penetration testing and information-security best practices.
This book covers everything from establishing your hacking plan to testing
your systems to managing an ongoing ethical hacking program. Realistically,
for many networks, operating systems, and applications, thousands of possible
hacks exist. I cover the major ones that you should be concerned about.
Whether you need to assess security vulnerabilities on a small home-office
network, a medium-size corporate network, or across large enterprise systems,
Hacking For Dummies provides the information you need.
