HTML And CSS Design And Build Websites.pdf

2020-08-12T19:08:00.001-07:00

Many books that teach HTML and CSS resemble dull manuals. To make it easier for you to learn, we threw away the traditional template used by publishers and redesigned this book from scratch.

At work, when people look at my screen and see it full of code, it's not unusual to get a comment about it looking very complicated or how clever I must be to understand it. The truth is, it's not that hard to learn how to write web pages and read the code used to create them; you certainly don't have to be a "programmer."

Understanding HTML and CSS can help anyone who works with the web; designers can create more attractive and usable sites, website editors can create better content, marketers can communicate with their audience more effectively, and managers can commission better sites and get the best out of their teams.

I've focussed on the code you need to use 90% of the time and omitted the code that you would rarely see even if writing websites is your full time job. By the end of the book, if you come across the other 10% you will be able to Google it to find out what it means quickly and easily.

I have also added practical information on topics I am commonly asked about, such as how to prepare images, audio and video for the web, how to approach the design and build of a new site, how to improve your rankings in search engines (SEO), and how to use Google Analytics to learn about visitors to your site.

In order to teach you about creating web pages, this book is divided into three sections:

1: HTML

We will spend the first chapter looking at how HTML is used to create web pages. You will see that you start by writing down the words you want to appear on your page. You then add tags or elements to the words so that the browser knows what is a heading, where a paragraph begins and ends, and so on. The rest of this section introduces the tags you have at your disposal to create web pages, grouped into chapters on: text, lists, links, images, tables, forms, video audio and flash, and miscellaneous elements. I should warn you that the examples in the first nine chapters are not exciting to look at, yet they are the foundation of every web page. The following chapters on CSS will show you how to make your pages look a lot more interesting.

2: CSS

We start this section with a chapter that explains how CSS uses rules to enable you to control the styling and layout of web pages. We then go on to look at the wide variety of CSS properties you can use in your CSS rules. These properties generally fall into one of two categories: Presentation: How to control things like the color of text, the fonts you want to use and the size of those fonts, how to add background colors to pages (or parts of a page), and how to add background images. Layout: How to control where the different elements are positioned on the screen. You will also learn several techniques that professionals use to make their pages more attractive.

3: Practical

We end up with some helpful information that will assist you in building better websites.
We look at some new tags that will be introduced in HTML5 to help describe the structure of your pages. HTML5 is the latest version of HTML (still under development at the time of writing). Before learning about these elements, you need a good grasp of how CSS is used to control the design of web pages. There is a chapter that talks you through a design process that you might like to follow when creating a new website.
Finally, we end up looking at topics that will help you once you have built your site, such as putting it on the web, search engine optimisation (SEO) and using analytics software to track who comes to your site and what they are looking at.

[ PDF ] The Hacker Playbook 2 - Practical Guide To Penetration Testing

2020-08-12T05:17:00.000-07:00

This is the second iteration of The Hacker Playbook (THP). For those that read the first book, this is an extension of that book. Below is an overview of all of the new vulnerabilities and attacks that will be discussed. In addition to the new content, attacks and techniques from the first book, which are still relevant today, are included to eliminate the need to refer back to the first book. So, what’s new?

Some of the updated attacks from the last year and a half include:

Heartbleed
ShellShock
Kerberos issues (Golden Ticket/Skeleton Key)
PTH Postgres
New Spear Phishing
Better/Cheaper Dropboxes
Faster/Smarter Password Cracking
New WIFI attacks
Tons of PowerShell scripts
Privilege Escalation Attacks
Mass network compromises
Moving laterally smarter
Burp Modules
Printer Exploits
Backdoor Factory
ZAP Proxy
Sticky Keys
NoSQL Injection
Commercial Tools (Cobalt Strike, Canvas, Core Impact)
Lab sections
And so much more

In addition to describing the attacks that have changed in the last couple years, I have attempted to incorporate all of the comments and recommendations received from readers of the first book into this second book. A more in-depth look into how to set up a lab environment in which to test your attacks is also given, along with the newest tips and tricks of penetration testing. Lastly, I tried to make this version easier to follow since many schools have incorporated my book into their curricula. Whenever possible, I have added lab sections that help provide a way to test a vulnerability or exploit.

What’s not different? One of my goals from the first book was to make this as “real world” as possible. I really tried to stay away from theoretical attacks and focused on what I have seen from personal experience and what actually worked. The second goal was to strengthen your core understanding as a penetration tester. In other words, I wanted to encourage you to use different methods to boost your value to your current or future company or client. Just running a vulnerability scanner and submitting that as your report provides no real benefit to a company. Also, penetration tests with an extremely limited scope will give a false sense of security. To THP1 readers, rest assured that although you may find some familiar information, there is a great deal of new information in THP2, which has double the content compared to its predecessor. Additionally, by popular demand, I have created a slew of scripts and tools to help you in your hacking adventure. This was probably one of the top requests by readers, so I have included a ton of scripts located in my Github (https://github.com/cheetz) and tried to make it easier to follow.

For those who did not read the first book, you might be wondering what experience I have as a penetration tester. My background comes from eight years of penetration testing for major financial institutions, large utility companies, Fortune 500 entertainment companies, and government organizations. I have also spent years teaching offensive network security, spoken at Toorcon/Derbycon/BayThreat, been referenced in many security publications, and currently run a security community of over 300 members in Southern California. My hope is that you will be able to take what I have learned and incorporate it into your own security lifestyle. From a technical standpoint, many tools and attacks have changed in the past couple years. With attacks like pass-the-hash, and with Group Policy Preferences getting patched, the process and methods of attackers have changed.

One important note is that I am using both commercial tools and open source. For every commercial tool, I try to give an open source counterpart. I occasionally run into some pentesters that say they only use open source tools. As a penetration tester, I find this a hard statement to take. If you are supposed to emulate a “real world” attack, the “bad guys” do not have these restrictions, then you need to use any tool that works to get the job done.

Who is this book intended for? You need to have some experience with Microsoft Active Directory, a solid understanding of Linux, some networking background, some coding experience (Bash, Python, Perl, Ruby, PHP, C, or anything along that line), and using security tools like vulnerability scanners and exploit tools (i.e. Metasploit). If you don’t have the background, but are interested in getting into security, I would suggest making sure you have the basics down. You can’t just jump into security without the basic knowledge of how things work first.

This book is not just for those looking to get into or who currently are in the offensive fields. This book provides valuable information and insight for incident responders as well, as they need to know how attackers think and what methods they use.

Lastly, I want to discuss a bit about the difference between researchers and penetration testers. Many times, these two professions blend together, as both need to be knowledgeable in both areas.

However, in this book, I separate the two areas slightly and focus on penetration testing. To clarify, in this book, a researcher is one who focuses on a single or limited scope and spends more time reversing the application/protocol/OS. Their goal is to discover an unknown exploit for that particular vulnerability. On the other hand (and remember this is a generalization), a penetration tester takes what is already known to compromise systems and applications. There will always be some overlap–a pentester will still fuzz vulnerabilities (for example, web parameters) and find zerodays–but he/she might not spend as much time finding all the issues as a researcher might.

[ The Hacker PlayBook 2 here ]

This is the third iteration of The Hacker Playbook (THP) series. Below is an overview of all the new vulnerabilities and attacks that will be discussed. In addition to the new content, some attacks and techniques from the prior books (which are still relevant today) are included to eliminate the need to refer back to the prior books. So, what's new? Some of the updated topics from the past couple of years include:

Abusing Active Directory
Abusing Kerberos
Advanced Web Attacks
Better Ways to Move Laterally
Cloud Vulnerabilities
Faster/Smarter Password Cracking
Living Off the Land
Lateral Movement Attacks
Multiple Custom Labs
Newer Web Language Vulnerabilities
Physical Attacks
Privilege Escalation
PowerShell Attacks
Ransomware Attacks
Red Team vs Penetration Testing
Setting Up Your Red Team Infrastructure
Usable Red Team Metrics
Writing Malware and Evading AV
And so much more

Additionally, I have attempted to incorporate all of the comments and recommendations received from readers of the first and second books. I do want to reiterate that I am not a professional author. I just love security and love teaching security and this is one of my passion projects. I hope you enjoy it. This book will also provide a more in-depth look into how to set up a lab environment in which to test your attacks, along with the newest tips and tricks of penetration testing. Lastly, I tried to make this version easier to follow since many schools have incorporated my book into their curricula. Whenever possible, I have added lab sections that help provide a way to test a vulnerability or exploit.

As with the other two books, I try to keep things as realistic, or “real world”, as possible. I also try to stay away from theoretical attacks and focus on what I have seen from personal experience and what actually worked. I think there has been a major shift in the industry from penetration testers to Red Teamers, and I want to show you rather than tell you why this is so. As I stated before, my passion is to teach and challenge others. So, my goals for you through this book are two-fold: first, I want you to get into the mindset of an attacker and understand “the how” of the attacks; second, I want you to take the tools and techniques you learn and expand upon them. Reading and repeating the labs is only one part – the main lesson I teach to my students is to let your work speak for your talents. Instead of working on your resume (of course, you should have a resume), I really feel that having a strong public Github repo/technical blog speaks volumes in security over a good resume. Whether you live in the blue defensive or red offensive world, getting involved and sharing with our security community is imperative.

For those who did not read either of my two prior books, you might be wondering what my experience entails. My background includes more than 12 years of penetration testing/red teaming for major financial institutions, large utility companies, Fortune 500 entertainment companies, and government organizations. I have also spent years teaching offensive network security at colleges, spoken at multiple security conferences, been referenced in many security publications, taught courses all over the country, ran multiple public CTF competitions, and started my own security school. One of my big passion project was building a free and open security community in Southern California called LETHAL (meetup.com/lethal). Now, with over 800+ members, monthly meetings, CTF competitions, and more, it has become an amazing environment for people to share, learn, and grow.

One important note is that I am using both commercial and open source tools. For every commercial tool discussed, I try to provide an open source counterpart. I occasionally run into some pentesters who claim they only use open source tools. As a penetration tester, I find this statement hard to accept. If you are supposed to emulate a “real world” attack, the “bad guys” do not have these restrictions; therefore, you need to use any tool (commercial or open source) that will get the job done.

A question I get often is, who is this book intended for? It is really hard to state for whom this book is specifically intended as I truly believe anyone in security can learn. Parts of this book might be too advanced for novice readers, some parts might be too easy for advanced hackers, and other parts might not even be in your field of security.

For those who are just getting into security, one of the most common things I hear from readers is that they tend to gain the most benefit from the books after reading them for the second or third time (making sure to leave adequate time between reads). There is a lot of material thrown at you throughout this book and sometimes it takes time to absorb it all. So, I would say relax, take a good read, go through the labs/examples, build your lab, push your scripts/code to a public Github repository, and start up a blog.

Lastly, being a Red Team member is half about technical ability and half about having confidence. Many of the social engineering exercises require you to overcome your nervousness and go outside your comfort zone. David Letterman said it best, "Pretending to not be afraid is as good as actually not being afraid." Although this should be taken with a grain of salt, sometimes you just have to have confidence, do it, and don't look back.

CRC Press - Artificial Intelligence and Soft Computing - Behavioral and Cognitive Modeling of the Human Brain

2020-08-10T23:50:00.002-07:00

The book covers 24 chapters altogether. It starts with the behavioral perspective of the ‘human cognition’ and covers in detail the tools and techniques required for its intelligent realization on machines. The classical chapters on search, symbolic logic, planning and machine learning have been covered in sufficient details, including the latest research in the subject. The modern aspects of soft computing have been introduced from the first principles and discussed in a semi-informal manner, so that a beginner of the subject is able to grasp it with minimal effort. Besides soft computing, the other leading aspects of current AI research covered in the book include nonmonotonic and spatio-temporal reasoning, knowledge acquisition, verification, validation and maintenance issues, realization of cognition on machines and the architecture of AI machines. The book ends with two case studies: one on ‘criminal investigation’ and the other on ‘navigational planning of robots,’ where the main emphasis is given on the realization of intelligent systems using the methodologies covered in the book.

The book is unique for its diversity in contents, clarity and precision of presentation and the overall completeness of its chapters. It requires no mathematical prerequisites beyond the high school algebra and elementary differential calculus; however, a mathematical maturity is required to follow the logical concepts presented therein. An elementary background of data structure and a high level programming language like Pascal or C is helpful to understand the book. The book, thus, though meant for two semester courses of computer science, will be equally useful to readers of other engineering disciplines and psychology as well as for its diverse contents, clear presentation and minimum prerequisite requirements.

In order to make the students aware of the applied side of the subject, the book includes a few homework problems, selected from a wide range of topics. The problems supplied, in general, are of three types: i) numerical, ii) reflexive and iii) provocative. The numerical problems test the students’ understanding of the subject. The reflexive type requires a formulation of the problem from its statement before finding its solution. The provocative type includes the well-known problems of modern AI research, the solution to some of which are known, and some are open ended. With adequate hints supplied with the problems, the students will be able to solve most of the numerical and reflexive type problems themselves. The provocative type, however, requires some guidance from the teacher in charge. The last type of problems is included in the text to give the research-oriented readers an idea of the current trend in AI research. Graduate students of AI will also find these problems useful for their dissertation work.

The book includes a large number of computer simulations to illustrate the concepts presented in logic programming, fuzzy Petri nets, imaging and robotics. Most of the simulation programs are coded in C and Pascal, so that students without any background of PROLOG and LISP may understand them easily. These programs will enhance the students’ confidence in the subject and enable them to design the simulation programs, assigned in the exercise as homework problems. The professionals will find these simulations interesting as it requires understanding of the end results only, rather than the formal proofs of the theorems presented in the text.

i) Unified theme of presentation: Most of the existing texts on AI cover a set of chapters of diverse thoughts, without demonstrating their inter-relationship. The readers, therefore, are misled with the belief that AI is merely a collection of intelligent algorithms, which precisely is not correct. The proposed book is developed from the perspective of cognitive science, which provides the readers with the view that the psychological model of cognition can be visualized as a cycle of 5 mental states: sensing, acquisition, perception, planning and action, and there exists a strong interdependence between each two sequential states. The significance of search in the state of perception, reasoning in the state of planning, and learning as an intermediate process between sensing and action thus makes sense. The unified theme of the book, therefore, is to realize the behavioral perspective of cognition on an intelligent machine, so as to enable it act and think like a human being. Readers will enjoy the book especially for its totality with an ultimate aim to build intelligent machines.

ii) Comprehensive coverage of the mathematical models: This probably is the first book that provides a comprehensive coverage of the mathematical models on AI and Soft Computing. The existing texts on “mathematical modeling in AI” are beyond the scope of undergraduate students. Consequently, while taking courses at graduate level, the students face much difficulty in studying from monographs and journals. The book, however, bridges the potential gap between the textbooks and advanced monographs in the subject by presenting the mathematical models from a layman’s understanding of the problems.

iii) Case studies: This is the only book that demonstrates the realization of the proposed tools and techniques of AI and Soft Computing through case studies. The readers, through these case studies, will understand the significance of the joint usage of the AI and Soft Computing tools and techniques in interesting problems of the real world. Case studies for two distinct problems with special emphasis to their realization have been covered in the book in two separate chapters. The case study I is concerned with a problem of criminal investigation, where the readers will learn to use the soft computing tools in facial image matching, fingerprint classification, speaker identification and incidental description based reasoning. The readers can build up their own systems by adding new fuzzy production rules and facts and deleting the unwanted rules and facts from the system. The book thus will serve the readership from both the academic and the professional world. Electronic and computer hobbyists will find the case study II on mobile robots very exciting. The algorithms of navigational planning (in case study II), though tested with reference to “Nomad Super Scout II robot,” have been presented in generic form, so that the interested readers can code them for other wheel-based mobile robots.

iv) Line Diagrams: The book includes around 190 line diagrams to give the readers a better insight to the subject. Readers will enjoy the book for they directly get a deeper view of the subject through diagrams with a minimal reading of the text.

The book is an outgrowth of the lecture materials prepared by the author for a one semester course on “Artificial Intelligence,” offered to the graduate students in the department of Electronics and Telecommunication Engineering, Jadavpur University, Calcutta. An early version of the text was also used in a summer-school on “AI and Neural Nets,” offered to the faculty members of various engineering colleges for their academic development and training. The training program included theories followed by a laboratory course, where the attendees developed programs in PROLOG, Pascal and C with the help of sample programs/toolkit. The toolkit is included in the book on a CD and the procedure to use it is presented in Appendix A

Metasploit - The Penetration Tester's Guide by David Kennedy pdf

2020-08-10T07:20:00.001-07:00

The Metasploit Framework has long been one of the tools most widely used by information security professionals, but for a long time little documentation existed aside from the source code itself or comments on blogs. That situation changed significantly when Offensive-Security developed its online course, Metasploit Unleashed. Shortly after the course went live, No Starch Press contacted us about the possibly of creating a book to expand on our work with Metasploit Unleashed.

This book is designed to teach you the ins and outs of Metasploit and how to use the Framework to its fullest. Our coverage is selective—we won’t cover every single flag or exploit—but we give you the foundation you’ll need to understand and use Metasploit now and in future versions.

When we began writing this book, we had in mind a comment by HD Moore, developer of the Metasploit Framework. In a conversation with HD about the development of our Metasploit Unleashed course, one of us said to him, “I hope the course comes out good.” To this offhand comment, HD merely replied, “Then make sure it is good.” And that’s just what we’ve attempted to do with this book.

As a group, we are experienced penetration testers who use Metasploit daily to circumvent security controls, bypass protections, and attack systems methodically. We wrote this book with the intention of helping our readers become competent penetration testers. HD’s drive and focus on quality is apparent within the Metasploit Framework, and we have tried to match those characteristics in this book. We leave it up to you to judge how well we have lived up to that standard.

Offensive Security - Wireless Attacks - WiFu version 3.0 pdf

2020-08-06T04:25:00.002-07:00

This course is designed to expose various wireless insecurities to the student and teach practical procedures to attack and penetrate wireless networks. It was designed by Thomas d’Otreppe de Bouvette, the author of the Aircrack-NG suite, Mati Aharoni, and Devon Kearns. Aircrack is by far the single most popular tool in the realm of wireless security assessment with a large range of capabilities. Together with Offensive Security, a comprehensive list of attack methodologies and techniques was created, resulting in this course.

The presentation of this course tends to be quite challenging, as it is very tempting to jump straight into the practical hacking methods. However, we quickly realized that a proper introduction of the terms and concepts was required in order to fully benefit from this course. The first few modules will provide the basic overview of the wireless arena and get you familiar with the technical environment. In further modules, we’ll discuss and practice hacking methods and techniques. We can promise you that the first couple of chapters in the course manual might be a bit boring with lots of definitions, explanations, acronyms, packet dumps, and diagrams. However, without a thorough understanding of the basics, true WiFu is not achieved. Please bear with us the first few chapters and do your best not to skip them. It really is worth it!

In the attacks ahead, we will often be repeating commands, for example, to initialize the wireless card. This may, at first, seem redundant but is actually by design. This will allow you to view the various modules later and be able to execute the specific attack without the need to review the entire course from the beginning.

Machine Learning for Hackers by Drew Conway and John Myles White

2020-07-31T18:20:00.001-07:00

Machine Learning for Hackers

To explain the perspective from which this book was written, it will be helpful to define the terms machine learning and hackers.

What is machine learning? At the highest level of abstraction, we can think of machine learning as a set of tools and methods that attempt to infer patterns and extract insight from a record of the observable world. For example, if we are trying to teach a computer to recognize the zip codes written on the fronts of envelopes, our data may consist of photographs of the envelopes along with a record of the zip code that each envelope was addressed to. That is, within some context we can take a record of the actions of our subjects, learn from this record, and then create a model of these activities that will inform our understanding of this context going forward. In practice, this requires data, and in contemporary applications this often means a lot of data (perhaps several tera- bytes). Most machine learning techniques take the availability of such data as given,
which means new opportunities for their application in light of the quantities of data that are produced as a product of running modern companies.

What is a hacker? Far from the stylized depictions of nefarious teenagers or Gibsonian cyber-punks portrayed in pop culture, we believe a hacker is someone who likes to solve problems and experiment with new technologies. If you’ve ever sat down with the latest O’Reilly book on a new computer language and knuckled out code until you were well past “Hello, World,” then you’re a hacker. Or if you’ve dismantled a new gadget until you understood the entire machinery’s architecture, then we probably mean you, too. These pursuits are often undertaken for no other reason than to have gone through the process and gained some knowledge about the how and the why of an unknown technology.

Along with an innate curiosity for how things work and a desire to build, a computer hacker (as opposed to a car hacker, life hacker, food hacker, etc.) has experience with software design and development. This is someone who has written programs before, likely in many different languages. To a hacker, Unix is not a four-letter word, and command-line navigation and bash operations may come as naturally as working with GUIs. Using regular expressions and tools such as sed, awk, and grep are a hacker’s first vii line of defense when dealing with text. In the chapters contained in this book, we will assume a relatively high level of this sort of knowledge.

Every book, as they say, has a story. This book’s history has been a long and varied one. Along the way, numerous individuals have contributed their time, focus, energy, technical acumen, or moral support to seeing The Hacker’s Handbook through to its conclusion.

The authors would like to thank the following individuals for their contributions and support:

Rich O’Hanley and the production staff at Auerbach Press for their tireless support of this book, in spite of its long (and somewhat nefarious) history.
Our contributing authors — Felix Lindner, Jim Barrett, Scott Brown, and John Zuena — for taking the time and care to write several excellent chapters on the hacking community, malware, directory services, and network hardware that contain some truly unique and interesting material.
Our technical reviewers, including Jim Tiller, Anton Chuvakin, Sean Cemm, Ben Rothke, and Ted Shagory, for their insights and for dedicating their time and energy to helping to shape a better book.

We are confident that this review process will continue as this text goes to publication, and want — in advance — to thank our readers and reviewers for their attention to the ongoing quality of this book.

In addition, Dave Aitel would like to thank Justine Bone for her support and encouragement and Susan Young would like to thank the following individuals: the Darklord (Thomas McGinn) for keeping his personal commitment to support the effort that went into this book in spite of many months of spent deadlines, missed weekends, and fatigue (thanks, T2B); Trevor Young, for lending his genuine talent, enthusiasm, time, and care to crafting the illustrations throughout this book; Gemma Young, and her parents, Sylvia and Neil, for their interest, support, and advice through two years of long distance phone calls; and International Network Services (and particularly Steven Marandola, Bob Breingan, and Shaun Meaney) for making available time and support for the completion of this book.
