4th Edition. — Cengage Learning, 2022. — 386 p. — ISBN 978-0357509753.Cyber-terrorism and corporate espionage are increasingly common and devastating threats, making trained network security professionals more important than ever. Wilson/Simpson/Antill's Hands-on Ethical Hacking and Network Defense, 4th edition, equips you with the knowledge and skills to protect networks using the tools and techniques of an ethical hacker. The authors explore the concept of ethical hacking and its practitioners -- explaining their importance in protecting corporate and government data -- and then deliver an in-depth guide to performing security testing. Thoroughly updated, the text covers new security resources, emerging vulnerabilities and innovative methods to protect networks, mobile security considerations, computer crime laws and penalties for illegal computer hacking. A final project brings many of the concepts together in a penetration testing exercise and report.
