In this section, we're going to talk about a tool called Wireshark. Wireshark is a network protocol analyzer. It's not designed for hackers, and it's not designed for hacking and spying on other people on the network. It's designed for network administrators so that they can see what's happening in their network and make sure that everything is working properly, and that nobody is doing anything bad or suspicious on the network. The way that Wireshark works is it allows you to select an interface and then logs all the packets, or all the traffic, that flows through that interface. So, we are selecting an interface (it could be a wireless card, or it could be a wired card on our current computer), and then it'll start logging all the information that flows through that interface. It also has a really nice graphical interface that allows us...

Overview of this book
This book starts with the basics of ethical hacking, how to practice hacking safely and legally, and how to install and interact with Kali Linux and the Linux terminal. You will explore network hacking, where you will see how to test the security of wired and wireless networks. You’ll also learn how to crack the password for any Wi-Fi network (whether it uses WEP, WPA, or WPA2) and spy on the connected devices.
Moving on, you will discover how to gain access to remote computer systems using client-side and server-side attacks. You will also get the hang of post-exploitation techniques, including remotely controlling and interacting with the systems that you compromised. Towards the end of the book, you will be able to pick up web application hacking techniques. You'll see how to discover, exploit, and prevent a number of website vulnerabilities, such as XSS and SQL injections.
The attacks covered are practical techniques that work against real systems and are purely for educational purposes. At the end of each section, you will learn how to detect, prevent, and secure systems from these attacks.
