Information security experts worldwide use penetration techniques to evaluate enterprise defenses. In Penetration Testing , security expert, researcher, and trainer Georgia Weidman introduces you to the core skills and techniques that every pentester needs. Using a virtual machine-based lab that includes Kali Linux and vulnerable operating systems, you'll run through a series of practical lessons with tools like Wireshark, Nmap, and Burp Suite. As you follow along with the labs and launch attacks, you'll experience the key stages of an actual assessment - including information gathering, finding exploitable vulnerabilities, gaining access to systems, post exploitation, and more. Learn how to: Crack passwords and wireless network keys with brute-forcing and wordlists Test web applications for vulnerabilities Use the Metasploit Framework to launch exploits and write your own Metasploit modules Automate social-engineering attacks Bypass antivirus software Turn access to one machine into total control of the enterprise in the post exploitation phase You'll even explore writing your own exploits. Then it's on to mobile hacking - Weidman's particular area of research - with her tool, the Smartphone Pentest Framework. With its collection of hands-on lessons that cover key tools and strategies, Penetration Testing is the introduction that every aspiring hacker needs. Review: An eye-opening read showing how easy it can be to get into pentesting - A very informative read which filled in some gaps in my security knowledge, having worked on the "other side" as a firewall engineer. Some of the assets required for the exercises in the book were no longer available in their original locations. However, I saw a tweet from the author in 2018 saying to just email her and she would send a link over. I did this and Georgia responded within 3 hours, which was impressive. I believe she is working on an updated version of the book, which I will buy as soon as it is out. Review: A concise and approachable introduction to pentesting - This is probably the best introduction to pentesting book out there, and in the absence of a guide aligned with Offensive Security's notorious and esteemed OSCP certification, it is also the best option for anyone preparing for that course. Admittedly some of the links no longer work, but workarounds for them are easy to find if you have a search online, which is probably a skill you should be getting comfortable with if you're going down this road anyway. Weidman has mentioned on her Twitter feed that she's currently researching new vulnerabilities and material for the second edition, but I wouldn't expect to see that in the near future. Check out her free videos on Cybrary as well - her Advanced Penetration Testing course closely mirrors the layout of this book. ## Features - New Store Stock ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | 286,261 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) 283 in Computer Information Systems 425 in E-Business 549 in Software Design & Development | | Customer Reviews | 4.4 out of 5 stars 614 Reviews | ## Images ![Penetration Testing – A Hands–On Introduction to Hacking - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81SmVR3lp7L.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ An eye-opening read showing how easy it can be to get into pentesting *by M***N on 17 October 2019* A very informative read which filled in some gaps in my security knowledge, having worked on the "other side" as a firewall engineer. Some of the assets required for the exercises in the book were no longer available in their original locations. However, I saw a tweet from the author in 2018 saying to just email her and she would send a link over. I did this and Georgia responded within 3 hours, which was impressive. I believe she is working on an updated version of the book, which I will buy as soon as it is out. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A concise and approachable introduction to pentesting *by A***H on 9 August 2017* This is probably the best introduction to pentesting book out there, and in the absence of a guide aligned with Offensive Security's notorious and esteemed OSCP certification, it is also the best option for anyone preparing for that course. Admittedly some of the links no longer work, but workarounds for them are easy to find if you have a search online, which is probably a skill you should be getting comfortable with if you're going down this road anyway.

Some of the information is a little outdated but that is to be expected with Cyber Security being an ever accelerating and developing industry. Another small issue I have is that the spine of the book has peeled away, I wouldn't usually mind but I've only had it for around two weeks so far, other than that I highly recommend! ## Frequently Bought Together - Penetration Testing: A Hands-On Introduction to Hacking - Hacking: The Art of Exploitation, 2nd Edition - Linux Basics for Hackers: Getting Started with Networking, Scripting, and Security in Kali --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.id/products/48773253-penetration-testing-a-hands-on-introduction-to-hacking](https://www.desertcart.id/products/48773253-penetration-testing-a-hands-on-introduction-to-hacking) --- *Product available on Desertcart Indonesia* *Store origin: ID* *Last updated: 2026-06-02*
