About ethical hacking and penetration testing notes
GoConqr OriginalUsing ethical hacking and penetration testing notes
Start with The Five Phases of Penetration Testing if you want an outline of the stages. For a comparison of testing approaches, Ethical Hacking introduces black box and white box testing. Both offer a starting point before you move to a narrower topic.
For more detail, Working with Exploits covers finding and customising exploits. File Transfers includes transfer methods and uploading files, while Client-Side Attacks covers client information gathering and social engineering.
Make notes part of your revision
Read a section at a time and jot down the terms you want to revisit. If you want a visual overview, switch to a mind map on the unit page. When you are ready to check your recall, try a quiz there and return to the relevant notes afterwards.
