Network Penetration Testing Plan Report

Network and computer security issues have become real issues that governments and enterprises must face. One of the ways to deal with security threats is to use penetration testing methods to simulate hacker attacks, find out the security flaws in the network and computer systems, and take targeted measures to plug the loopholes and strengthen the body.

Penetration testing is a growing industry. This book explains in detail how to simulate attacks and penetrations by external attackers on networks and hosts during penetration testing, and provides various steps. Its content can be divided into two parts: the ideas, methods, guiding principles of penetration testing and the specific penetration testing process. The former part focuses on understanding penetration testing, assessing risks and establishing a test plan; the latter part focuses on specific operations and tools. In addition to introducing attack methods, basically every chapter gives methods to detect attacks, and also explains how to prevent such attacks by hardening systems and networks. At the end of each chapter, practical examples of using the tools and methods introduced in this chapter are given. This book provides readers with the ideas, methods, processes and approaches of penetration testing, not just tools.

This book can be used as a reference for network security in governments and enterprises, as well as a penetration testing textbook for students in colleges and universities. It is suitable for units recruiting penetration testers, people who want to apply for penetration testing, and People who protect network security from malicious attacks.
