What you need for this book

To maximize the demonstrations in this book, you will need to have a computer or other device in which to install Kali Linux, as well as a deliberately vulnerable operating system. For this book, Metasploitable2 and Windows XP Mode were utilized. Both of these are virtual machines that are free to users. In addition, having access to a wireless access point to configure a wireless network will allow you to follow later chapters that address wireless penetration testing.
