Identify, exploit, and test web application security with ease Key Features Get up to speed with Metasploit and discover how to use it for pentesting Understand how to exploit and protect your web environment effectively Learn how an exploit works and what causes vulnerabilities Book DescriptionMetasploit has been a crucial security tool for many years. However, there are only a few modules that Metasploit has made available to the public for pentesting web applications. In this book, you'll explore another aspect of the framework - web applications - which is not commonly used. You'll also discover how Metasploit, when used with its inbuilt GUI, simplifies web application penetration testing. The book starts by focusing on the Metasploit setup, along with covering the life cycle of the penetration testing process. Then, you will explore Metasploit terminology and the web GUI, which is available in the Metasploit Community Edition. Next, the book will take you through pentesting popular content management systems such as Drupal, WordPress, and Joomla, which will also include studying the latest CVEs and understanding the root cause of vulnerability in detail. Later, you'll gain insights into the vulnerability assessment and exploitation of technological platforms such as JBoss, Jenkins, and Tomcat. Finally, you'll learn how to fuzz web applications to find logical security vulnerabilities using third-party tools. By the end of this book, you'll have a solid understanding of how to exploit and validate vulnerabilities by working with various tools and techniques. What you will learn Get up to speed with setting up and installing the Metasploit framework Gain first-hand experience of the Metasploit web interface Use Metasploit for web-application reconnaissance Understand how to pentest various content management systems Pentest platforms such as JBoss, Tomcat, and Jenkins Become well-versed with fuzzing web applications Write and automate penetration testing reports Who this book is forThis book is for web security analysts, bug bounty hunters, security professionals, or any stakeholder in the security sector who wants to delve into web application security testing.

Your one-stop guide to learning and implementing Red Team tactics effectively Key Features Target a complex enterprise environment in a Red Team activity Detect threats and respond to them with a real-world cyber-attack simulation Explore advanced penetration testing tools and techniques Book DescriptionRed Teaming is used to enhance security by performing simulated attacks on an organization in order to detect network and system vulnerabilities. Hands-On Red Team Tactics starts with an overview of pentesting and Red Teaming, before giving you an introduction to few of the latest pentesting tools. We will then move on to exploring Metasploit and getting to grips with Armitage. Once you have studied the fundamentals, you will learn how to use Cobalt Strike and how to set up its team server. The book introduces some common lesser known techniques for pivoting and how to pivot over SSH, before using Cobalt Strike to pivot. This comprehensive guide demonstrates advanced methods of post-exploitation using Cobalt Strike and introduces you to Command and Control (C2) servers and redirectors. All this will help you achieve persistence using beacons and data exfiltration, and will also give you the chance to run through the methodology to use Red Team activity tools such as Empire during a Red Team activity on Active Directory and Domain Controller. In addition to this, you will explore maintaining persistent access, staying untraceable, and getting reverse connections over different C2 covert channels. By the end of this book, you will have learned about advanced penetration testing tools, techniques to get reverse shells over encrypted channels, and processes for post-exploitation. What you will learn Get started with red team engagements using lesser-known methods Explore intermediate and advanced levels of post-exploitation techniques Get acquainted with all the tools and frameworks included in the Metasploit framework Discover the art of getting stealthy access to systems via Red Teaming Understand the concept of redirectors to add further anonymity to your C2 Get to grips with different uncommon techniques for data exfiltration Who this book is forHands-On Red Team Tactics is for you if you are an IT professional, pentester, security consultant, or ethical hacker interested in the IT security domain and wants to go beyond Penetration Testing. Prior knowledge of penetration testing is beneficial.

Learn the art of designing, implementing, and managing Cisco's networking solutions on datacenters, wirelessly, security and mobility to set up an Enterprise network. About This Book * Implement Cisco's networking solutions on datacenters and wirelessly, Cloud, Security, and Mobility * Leverage Cisco IOS to manage network infrastructures. * A practical guide that will show how to troubleshoot common issues on the network. Who This Book Is For This book is targeted at network designers and IT engineers who are involved in designing, configuring, and operating enterprise networks, and are in taking decisions to make the necessary network changes to meet newer business needs such as evaluating new technology choices, enterprise growth, and adding new services on the network. The reader is expected to have a general understanding of the fundamentals of networking, including the OSI stack and IP addressing. What You Will Learn * Understand the network lifecycle approach * Get to know what makes a good network design * Design components and technology choices at various places in the network (PINS) * Work on sample configurations for network devices in the LAN/ WAN/ DC, and the wireless domain * Get familiar with the configurations and best practices for securing the network * Explore best practices for network operations In Detail Most enterprises use Cisco networking equipment to design and implement their networks. However, some networks outperform networks in other enterprises in terms of performance and meeting new business demands, because they were designed with a visionary approach. The book starts by describing the various stages in the network lifecycle and covers the plan, build, and operate phases. It covers topics that will help network engineers capture requirements, choose the right technology, design and implement the network, and finally manage and operate the network.

Periodontists, especially during the past few years, have attempted to treat surgical sites gently and atraumatically to achieve primary wound closure. The limits of normal visual perception have made the condition possible for the use and advancement of microsurgery in the field of Periodontics. Periodontal microsurgery is a natural transition and extension of surgical principles and techniques by which exceedingly accurate preparation and delicate atraumatic handling of soft and hard tissues enhance primary wound closure through optical or video magnification.

The epithelial membranes composed of epithelial cells cover most of the internal and external surfaces in the body. Like other cells the epithelial cells also possess specialized cell to cell junctional structures and in doing so may undergo transition from one type to the other particularly at the junctions with heterogeneous cells.A novel biophysical approach has been adopted in the present study to investigate the physico-chemical nature of the dento-epithelial junction. The philosophy behind this approach is that all the living cells, including the epithelial cells exhibit a transmembrane potential difference

Since the system of Ayurveda classifies most diseases predominantly based on the symptoms, it categorizes both Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis in the disease called 'Pravaahika', and hence these two conditions have been clubbed here together for a common overview of their Ayurvedic treatment. Treatment is aimed at correcting the basic pathology of the diseases, controlling symptoms, preventing or reducing complications and boosting the immune system of the body. Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis are both inflammatory bowel diseases which can be painful and debilitating, and sometimes may lead to life- threatening complications. Common symptoms include diarrhea, abdominal pain and cramping, blood in the stool, ulcers, reduced appetite and weight loss, and fistula or abscess. Heredity and an abnormal immune system are believed to be the common causes of these conditions. Ulcerative colitis affects the innermost lining of the large intestine and rectum in continuous stretches; whereas Crohn's disease occurs in patches anywhere in the digestive tract, and often spreads deep into the layers of the tissues.
