Gilberto Najera-Gutierrez, Juned Ahmed Ansari
Web Penetration Testing with Kali Linux - Third Edition shows you how to set up a lab, helps you understand the nature and mechanics of attacking websites, and explains classical attacks in great depth. This edition is heavily updated for the latest Kali Linux changes and the most recent attacks. Kali Linux shines when it comes to client-side attacks and fuzzing in particular.From the start of the book, you'll be given a thorough grounding in the concepts of hacking and penetration testing, and you'll see the tools used in Kali Linux that relate to web application hacking. You'll gain a deep understanding of classicalSQL, command-injection flaws, and the many ways to exploit these flaws. Web penetration testing also needs a general overview of client-side attacks, which is rounded out by a long discussion of scripting and input validation flaws.There is also an important chapter on cryptographic implementation flaws, where we discuss the most recent problems with cryptographic layers in the networking stack.The importance of these attacks cannot be overstated, and defending against them is relevant to most internet users and, of course, penetration testers.At the end of the book, you'll use an automated technique called fuzzing to identify flaws in a web application. Finally, you'll gain an understanding of web application vulnerabilities and the ways they can be exploited using the tools in Kali Linux.

Kali Linux is built for professional penetration testing and security auditing. It is the next-generation of BackTrack, the most popular open-source penetration toolkit in the world. Readers will learn how to think like real attackers, exploit systems, and expose vulnerabilities.Even though web applications are developed in a very secure environment and have an intrusion detection system and firewall in place to detect and prevent any malicious activity, open ports are a pre-requisite for conducting online business. These ports serve as an open door for attackers to attack these applications. As a result, penetration testing becomes essential to test the integrity of web-applications. Web Penetration Testing with Kali Linux is a hands-on guide that will give you step-by-step methods on finding vulnerabilities and exploiting web applications.Web Penetration Testing with Kali Linux looks at the aspects of web penetration testing from the mind of an attacker. It provides real-world, practical step-by-step instructions on how to perform web penetration testing exercises.You will learn how to use network reconnaissance to pick your targets and gather information. Then, you will use server-side attacks to expose vulnerabilities in web servers and their applications. Client attacks will exploit the way end users use web applications and their workstations. You will also learn how to use open source tools to write reports and get tips on how to sell penetration tests and look out for common pitfalls.On the completion of this book, you will have the skills needed to use Kali Linux for web penetration tests and expose vulnerabilities on web applications and clients that access them.

Od niepamiętnych czasów ludzkość zwraca uwagę na koło ekliptyki, czyli na pozorną drogę Słońca na niebie. Nic dziwnego – wszak jest to miejsce, na którym styka się życie Ziemi z życiem naszego systemu słonecznego, obejmującego razem z planetami i ich księżycami nie mniej jak 37 obiektów astronomicznych. Już Sumerowie przed sześcioma tysiącami lat zauważyli, że ten otaczający nas pas życia kosmicznego składa się z dwunastu równych części nazwanych znakami zodiaku. Doświadczenie zbierane przez ludzkość w przeciągu wielu tysięcy lat wykazało, że każdy poszczególny stopień ekliptyki ma specjalne właściwości, odrębne od innych. Charakterystyki niniejsze oparte są na tych odrębnych właściwościach każdego stopnia zodiaku według pozycji Słońca. Określenia te mają jednak znaczenie dość ogólne – bowiem Słońce nie zawsze ściśle tego samego dnia znajduje się corocznie w tym samym stopniu zodiaku np. w roku przestępnym, mimo to jednak sprawdzają się w życiu zadziwiająco. Aby określić dzięki tym charakterystykom główne cechy swoje i swoich bliskich oraz możliwości rozwojowe – musimy znać jedynie dzień urodzin. Warto przestudiować wszystkie 12 znaków zodiaku, zawartych w 12 Księgach Tajemnic, aby posługując się nimi – zdumiewać bliskich i znajomych trafnością swych przepowiedni.

Wielka Szachownica. Geostrategia amerykańskiego przywództwa
Zbigniew Brzeziński
Nowe wydanie legendarnej książki Zbigniewa Brzezińskiego! Gdy tuż po zimnej wojnie kształtował się nowy porządek świata, wielu wydawało się, że historia dobiegła końca. Dominacja USA - jako jedynego supermocarstwa - miała trwać wiecznie. Poglądu tego nie podzielał jednak Zbigniew Brzeziński. Były doradca ds. bezpieczeństwa narodowego prezydenta Jimmy'ego Cartera i wybitny politolog przewidywał, że Stany Zjednoczone będą musiały walczyć o utrzymanie swojej pozycji, a kluczowa będzie rozgrywka w Eurazji. Swoje rozważania na ten temat zebrał właśnie w Wielkiej szachownicy. Dziś jego przejrzysta analiza geostrategicznych wyzwań stojących przed amerykańskim przywództwem w świecie okazuje nie tylko trafna i błyskotliwa, ale również bardzo aktualna. Co więcej - to właśnie teraz, w sytuacji otwartego konfliktu w Ukrainie oraz zaostrzającej się rywalizacji w rejonie Pacyfiku, geopolityczna rozgrywka o Eurazję wchodzi w decydującą fazę. Wielka szachownica to książka, która wyprzedziła swoje czasy. Lektura obowiązkowa dla każdego, kto choćby w minimalnym stopniu interesuje się geostrategią i geopolityką.
