HOW TO USE THIS BOOK? This book will cover the concepts of computer hacking for both Windows and Linux operating systems. For Windows based practical examples and illustrations, I have used my Windows 8.1 PC. For Linux based examples I have used Kali Linux 1.0.9a liveDVD. Since most examples are not specific of the operating system version, you can implement them on any version of Windows and Linux installed on your computer. Each chapter including all the concepts presented in this book are laid out in a hierarchical manner where one concept forms the foundation for the other.

Throughout this book, you will be presented with many illustrative examples, analogies and eye-catching diagrams...
