Part IV: Operating System Hacking

Practically all operating systems have well-known vulnerabilities that hackers
often use. This part jumps into hacking three widely used operating systems:
Windows, Linux, and NetWare. The hacking methods include scanning your
operating systems for vulnerabilities and enumerating the specific hosts to
gain detailed information. This part also includes information on exploiting
well-known vulnerabilities in these operating systems, taking over operating
systems remotely, and specific countermeasures that you can implement to
make your operating systems more secure. This part also includes case studies
on operating-system hack attacks.
