Embark on a transformative journey into the world of Pester and elevate your PowerShell scripting to new heights of robustness, reliability, and efficiency. This comprehensive beginner's guide provides a hands-on approach to PowerShell testing using Pester, empowering you to enhance your code quality with confidence. The book starts with an introduction to Pester, the powerful testing and mocking framework for PowerShell. You'll gain a solid foundation by exploring Pester's fundamental building blocks. The book guides you through the phases of Pester, helping you write your initial Pester code. You will dive into topics such as tags, assertions with Should and parameter filters, and you will explore advanced techniques such as Test Drive and Test Registry. You will discover the art of mocking in Pester and master its advanced testing methodologies. You will gain insights into working without installed modules and seamlessly integrating Pester with Azure DevOps Pipeline for astreamlined testing process. After reading this book, you will have the knowledge and skills to initiate your own exploration into PowerShell testing with Pester. You will transform your scripts into reliable powerhouses, ensuring the resilience and quality of your PowerShell code. What Will You Learn Building blocks and phases of Pester Writing effective Pester tests Assertions, mocking, and advanced testing techniques Integration with Azure DevOps Tags, code coverage.

There is a plethora of literature on the topic of penetration testing, hacking, and related fields. These books are almost exclusively concerned with the technical execution of penetration testing and occasionally the thought process of the penetration tester themselves. There is little to no literature on the unique challenges presented by creating, developing, and managing a penetration testing team that is both effective and scalable. In addition, there is little to no literature on the subject of developing contractual client relationships, marketing, finding and developing talent, and how to drive penetration test execution to achieve client needs. This book changes all that. The Business of Hacking is a one-of-a-kind book detailing the lessons the authors learned while building penetrating testing teams from the ground up, making them profitable, and constructing management principles that ensure team scalability. You will discover both the challenges you face as you develop your team of offensive security professionals and an understanding of how to overcome them. You will gain an understanding of the client’s requirements, how to meet them, and how to surpass them to provide clients with a uniquely professional experience. The authors have spent combined decades working in various aspects of cybersecurity with a focus on offensive cybersecurity. Their experience spans military, government, and commercial industries with most of that time spent in senior leadership positions. What you’ll learn How to handle and ongoing develop client relationships in a high end industry Team management and how the offensive security industry comes with its own unique challenges. Experience in other industries does not guarantee success in penetration testing. How to identify, understand, and over-deliver on client expectations. How to staff and develop talent within the team. Marketing opportunities and how to use the pentesting team as a wedge for upsell opportunities. The various structures of services available that they may present to their clients. Who This Book Is For This book is written for anyone curious who is interested in creating a penetration testing team or business. It is also relevant for anyone currently executing such a business and even for those simply participating in the business.

Get started with NMAP, OpenVAS, and Metasploit and understand how NMAP, OpenVAS, and Metasploit can be integrated with each other for greater flexibility and efficiency. In this short book you will begin by working with NMAP and ZENMAP and learning the basic scanning and enumeration process. After getting to know the differences between TCP and UDP scans, you will learn to fine tune your scans and efficiently use NMAP scripts. This will be followed by an introduction to OpenVAS vulnerability management system. You will then learn to configure OpenVAS and scan for and report vulnerabilities. The next chapter takes you on a detailed tour of Metasploit and its basic commands and configuration. You will then invoke NMAP and OpenVAS scans from Metasploit. Lastly, you will take a look at scanning services with Metasploit and get to know more about Meterpreter, an advanced, dynamically extensible payload that is extended over the network at runtime. The final part of the book concludes by pentesting a system in a real-world scenario, where you will apply the skills you have learnt. You will: Carryout basic scanning with NMAP Invoke NMAP from Python Use vulnerability scanning and reporting with OpenVAS Master common commands in Metasploit.

The experts of the International Working Group-Landau Network Centro Volta (IWG-LNCV) discuss aspects of cyber security and present possible methods of deterrence, defense and resilience against cyber attacks. This SpringerBrief covers state-of-the-art documentation on the deterrence power of cyber attacks and argues that nations are entering a new cyber arms race. The brief also provides a technical analysis of possible cyber attacks towards critical infrastructures in the chemical industry and chemical safety industry. The authors also propose modern analyses and a holistic approach to resilience and security of Industrial Control Systems. The combination of contextual overview and future directions in the field makes this brief a useful resource for researchers and professionals studying systems security, data security and data structures. Advanced-level students interested in data security will also find this brief a helpful guide to recent research.
