Informatyka śledcza. Narzędzia i techniki skutecznego reagowania na incydenty bezpieczeństwa. Wydanie III

Gerard Johansen

Informatyka śledcza zapewnia narzędzia nie tylko prowadzącym dochodzenia kryminalne, ale również specjalistom do spraw cyberbezpieczeństwa. Na tym polu trwa ciągły wyścig zbrojeń między nimi a przestępcami, gdyż konsekwencje udanego ataku mogą się okazać niezwykle poważne. Umiejętność poprawnego reagowania na incydenty bezpieczeństwa jest tu kluczową sprawą. Ta książka jest przewodnikiem dla profesjonalistów do spraw cyberbezpieczeństwa. Przedstawia podstawowe zasady reagowania na incydenty bezpieczeństwa i szczegółowo, na przykładach, omawia proces tworzenia zdolności szybkiej i skutecznej reakcji na takie zdarzenia. Zaprezentowano tu techniki informatyki śledczej, od pozyskiwania dowodów i badania pamięci ulotnej po badanie dysku twardego i dowodów pochodzących z sieci. Szczególną uwagę poświęcono zagrożeniom atakami ransomware. Nie zabrakło omówienia roli analizy zagrożeń w procesie reagowania na incydenty, a także zasad sporządzania raportów dokumentujących reakcję na incydent i wyniki analizy. Pokazano również, w jaki sposób prowadzi się polowania na zagrożenia. Z tą książką: zbudujesz zdolność reagowania na incydenty w swojej organizacji nauczysz się poprawnego zbierania i analizowania dowodów zintegrujesz techniki i procedury śledcze z ogólnym procesem reagowania na incydenty przyswoisz różne metody polowania na zagrożenia opanujesz sposoby tworzenia raportów z incydentów wdrożysz odpowiednie praktyki reagowania na ataki ransomware Przygotuj się, znajdź i zlikwiduj zagrożenie!

Kali Linux is a comprehensive penetration testing platform with advanced tools to identify, detect, and exploit the vulnerabilities uncovered in the target network environment. With Kali Linux, you can apply the appropriate testing methodology with defined business objectives and a scheduled test plan, resulting in successful penetration testing project engagement.This fourth edition of Kali Linux 2018: Assuring Security by Penetration Testing starts with the installation of Kali Linux. You will be able to create a full test environment to safely practice scanning, vulnerability assessment, and exploitation. You’ll explore the essentials of penetration testing by collecting relevant data on the target network with the use of several footprinting and discovery tools. As you make your way through the chapters, you’ll focus on specific hosts and services via scanning and run vulnerability scans to discover various risks and threats within the target, which can then be exploited. In the concluding chapters, you’ll apply techniques to exploit target systems in order to gain access and find a way to maintain that access. You’ll also discover techniques and tools for assessing and attacking devices that are not physically connected to the network, including wireless networks.By the end of this book, you will be able to use NetHunter, the mobile version of Kali Linux, and write a detailed report based on your findings.
