With hundreds of tools preinstalled, the Kali Linux distribution makes it easier for security professionals to get started with security testing quickly. But with more than 600 tools in its arsenal, Kali Linux can also be overwhelming. The new edition of this practical book covers updates to the tools, including enhanced coverage of forensics and reverse engineering.

Author Ric Messier also goes beyond strict security testing by adding coverage on performing forensic analysis, including disk and memory forensics, as well as some basic malware analysis.
