Chapter 14. Example Assessment Methodology

In this final chapter, I walk through a remote security assessment of a small network protected by a firewall. By reading through this process from start to finish, you will have a good understanding of the overall process. The exercise will identify, attack, and penetrate systems in a class-c network space, from my launch system on a remote network.
