Description

Welcome to Hacking For Dummies, 5th Edition. This book outlines — in plain English — computer hacker tricks and techniques that you can use to assess the security of your information systems, find the vulnerabilities that matter, and fix the weaknesses before criminal hackers and malicious insiders take advantage of them. This hacking is the professional, aboveboard, and legal type of security testing — which I often refer to as ethical hacking throughout the book.

Computer and network security is a complex subject and an ever‐moving target. You must stay on top of it to ensure that your information is protected from the bad guys. That’s where the techniques and tools outlined in this book can help.

You can implement all the security technologies and other best practices possible, and your information systems might be secure — as far as you know. However, until you understand how malicious attackers think, apply that knowledge, and use the right tools to assess your systems from their point of view, it’s practically impossible to have a true sense of how secure your information really is.
