Introduction

The tools I'll describe in this book can be used for both white hat and black hat hacking.

When applied, the result will be the same in both cases.

Nonetheless, it can result in a disastrous situation for the person who uses such hacking tools in an unauthorized manner, which may cause system damage or a system outage.

Anything that is legally permitted to assist people or businesses in identifying vulnerabilities and potential risks is acceptable.

All of the tools I'll describe should only be used to improve your security posture.

I feel compelled to issue a warning here.

If you want to learn about hacking and penetration testing, it's best to set up a home lab and practice using these tools in an isolated network that you have complete control over and that isn't connected to any production environment or the internet.

If you use these tools for black hat purposes and get caught, it will be entirely your fault, and no one will hold you accountable.

So, once again, I strongly advise you to stay within the lines, and anything you do should be completely legal and authorized.

If you attempt to use any of these tools on a network without authorization and disrupt or damage any systems, you are engaging in illegal black hat hacking.

As a result, I would like to encourage all readers to only use the tools described in this book for white hat purposes.

Finally, if you are unsure about anything you are doing and have no idea what the outcome will be, consult your manager or do not do it.

This book is intended for educational purposes.

It is intended for those who want to become IT professionals or white hat hackers and are interested in learning and understanding what is going on behind the scenes.

In addition to legal concerns, it is recommended that you have a basic understanding of networking concepts before using any of the tools.
