PCI DSS Version 4.0.1. A guide to the payment card industry data security standard
IT Governance Publishing, Stephen Hancock
This book provides an essential resource for anyone involved in managing or ensuring PCI DSS compliance. It begins by introducing the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS), explaining its importance, and the regulatory framework that governs it. Readers will understand how to assess their organization’s compliance status and the vital steps to avoid data breaches. The book offers a comprehensive exploration of compliance programs and how organizations can design their own effective strategies.The text then dives into the specifics of PCI DSS, focusing on its core components and requirements. Key chapters describe how to comply with and maintain compliance, as well as how to use tools like the PCI self-assessment questionnaire (SAQ). Real-world case studies of cardholder data breaches highlight the consequences of non-compliance. Readers will also learn about the integration of PCI DSS with other standards like ISO/IEC 27001.Throughout, this guide emphasizes practical advice for implementing key security frameworks such as the Software Security Framework (SSF) and Point-to-Point Encryption (P2PE). By the end of the book, readers will have a clear roadmap to not only meet but sustain PCI DSS compliance and strengthen their organization's data security practices.
Penetration Testing: A Survival Guide. A Survival Guide
Wolf Halton, Bo Weaver, Juned Ahmed Ansari,...
The need for penetration testers has grown well over what the IT industry ever anticipated. Running just a vulnerability scanner is no longer an effective method to determine whether a business is truly secure. This learning path will help you develop the most effective penetration testing skills to protect your Windows, web applications, and Android devices. The first module focuses on the Windows platform, which is one of the most common OSes, and managing its security spawned the discipline of IT security. Kali Linux is the premier platform for testing and maintaining Windows security. Employs the most advanced tools and techniques to reproduce the methods used by sophisticated hackers. In this module first,you’ll be introduced to Kali's top ten tools and other useful reporting tools. Then, you will find your way around your target network and determine known vulnerabilities so you can exploit a system remotely. You’ll not only learn to penetrate in the machine, but will also learn to work with Windows privilege escalations.The second module will help you get to grips with the tools used in Kali Linux 2.0 that relate to web application hacking. You will get to know about scripting and input validation flaws, AJAX, and security issues related to AJAX. You will also use an automated technique called fuzzing so you can identify flaws in a web application. Finally, you’ll understand the web application vulnerabilities and the ways they can be exploited.In the last module, you’ll get started with Android security. Android, being the platform with the largest consumer base, is the obvious primary target for attackers. You’ll begin this journey with the absolute basics and will then slowly gear up to the concepts of Android rooting, application security assessments, malware, infecting APK files, and fuzzing. You’ll gain the skills necessary to perform Android application vulnerability assessments and to create an Android pentesting lab.This Learning Path is a blend of content from the following Packt products:• Kali Linux 2: Windows Penetration Testing by Wolf Halton and Bo Weaver• Web Penetration Testing with Kali Linux, Second Edition by Juned Ahmed Ansari• Hacking Android by Srinivasa Rao Kotipalli and Mohammed A.

“If you’re looking for this book, you need it.” — 5* Amazon ReviewCurious about how safe Azure really is? Put your knowledge to work with this practical guide to penetration testing. This book offers a no-faff, hands-on approach to exploring Azure penetration testing methodologies, which will get up and running in no time with the help of real-world examples, scripts, and ready-to-use source code.As you learn about the Microsoft Azure platform and understand how hackers can attack resources hosted in the Azure cloud, you'll find out how to protect your environment by identifying vulnerabilities, along with extending your pentesting tools and capabilities. First, you’ll be taken through the prerequisites for pentesting Azure and shown how to set up a pentesting lab. You'll then simulate attacks on Azure assets such as web applications and virtual machines from anonymous and authenticated perspectives.In the later chapters, you'll learn about the opportunities for privilege escalation in Azure tenants and ways in which an attacker can create persistent access to an environment.By the end of this book, you'll be able to leverage your ethical hacking skills to identify and implement different tools and techniques to perform successful penetration tests on your own Azure infrastructure.
Penetration Testing Bootcamp. Quickly get up and running with pentesting techniques

Penetration Testing Bootcamp delivers practical, learning modules in manageable chunks. Each chapter is delivered in a day, and each day builds your competency in Penetration Testing.This book will begin by taking you through the basics and show you how to set up and maintain the C&C Server. You will also understand how to scan for vulnerabilities and Metasploit, learn how to setup connectivity to a C&C server and maintain that connectivity for your intelligence gathering as well as offsite processing. Using TCPDump filters, you will gain understanding of the sniffing and spoofing traffic. This book will also teach you the importance of clearing up the tracks you leave behind after the penetration test and will show you how to build a report from all the data obtained from the penetration test.In totality, this book will equip you with instructions through rigorous tasks, practical callouts, and assignments to reinforce your understanding of penetration testing.

This book will show you how to utilize the latest credit card sized Raspberry Pi 3 and create a portable, low-cost hacking tool using Kali Linux 2.You’ll begin by installing and tuning Kali Linux 2 on Raspberry Pi 3 and then get started with penetration testing. You will be exposed to various network security scenarios such as wireless security, scanning network packets in order to detect any issues in the network, and capturing sensitive data. You will also learn how to plan and perform various attacks such as man-in-the-middle, password cracking, bypassing SSL encryption, compromising systems using various toolkits, and many more. Finally, you’ll see how to bypass security defenses and avoid detection, turn your Pi 3 into a honeypot, and develop a command and control system to manage a remotely-placed Raspberry Pi 3.By the end of this book you will be able to turn Raspberry Pi 3 into a hacking arsenal to leverage the most popular open source toolkit, Kali Linux 2.0.
