Chapter 5: Examining the Mutillidae Family and Beyond
Mutillidae is a web application that is full with flaws that can be exploited, making it the ideal environment for sharpening security testing skills. Readers will explore popular web application vulnerabilities including SQL injection, cross-site scripting (XSS), and command injection as they dig into the complexities of Mutillidae in this chapter. Readers are given the tools to put their newly acquired knowledge to use in locating and fixing security vulnerabilities in web applications through practical examples and hands-on activities.
 

Chapter 6: Advanced Methods for Penetration Testing
The foundation of security testing methodology is penetration testing, which enables organizations to proactively detect and fix security flaws before malevolent actors take advantage of them. Advanced penetration testing methods, such as network reconnaissance, exploitation, privilege escalation, and post-exploitation tasks, are covered in detail in this chapter. Readers will discover the ins and outs of penetration testing and how to strengthen and evaluate target systems' security posture through case studies and real-world examples.
Chapter 7: Evaluation and Handling of Vulnerabilities
In order to protect against possible security threats, effective vulnerability assessment is essential. It gives businesses important insights into how easily their IT infrastructure might be exploited. The foundations of vulnerability assessment are covered in this chapter, including initial identification, prioritizing, remediation, and risk reduction. By using both automatic scanning tools and manual procedures, readers will gain knowledge on how to find vulnerabilities and fix them, strengthening their systems' defenses against cyberattacks.
 

Securing Network Infrastructure in Chapter 8
Any strong cybersecurity strategy must start with network security, which includes a wide range of methods and best practices to prevent unwanted access and data breaches. This chapter explores the complexities of protecting network infrastructure, including secure network protocols, virtual private networks (VPNs), intrusion detection and prevention systems (IDPS), and firewall setup. Readers are equipped with useful advice and real-world examples to put strong network security measures in place and guard against a variety of cyberthreats.
Chapter 9: Beyond Ethical Hacking
A powerful tool in the battle against cybercrime is ethical hacking, which enables security experts to think like hostile adversaries in order to spot and address any security flaws. The process of ethical hacking is covered in this chapter, from information collecting and reconnaissance to vulnerability research and exploitation.
