https://www.briskinfosec.com The best cyber security books More than three years ago, we made a post with the best movies about hackers and cybersecurity , today, and after a reading vacation, why not make a list of the best cybersecurity books . On many occasions, I am asked where to start on the subject of cybersecurity ... I think this could be a fantastic starting point. There are those who perhaps consider that this list should be more technical (and may not lack reason as to the end we want to obtain) what is clear is that in the list, there are historical, books that must be read, as if how Quijote or Lazarillo de Tormes is the Spanish language. As I have marked on other occasions, it is not a list from the best to the worst, but rather that listing them helps us not to get lost in them.. let's start: Cybersecurity - Lester Evans An essential computer security and cybersecurity guide for beginners, including ethical hacking, risk assessment, social engineering, attack and defense strategies, and cyber warfare. Malware Analysis Learning - Monnappa KA Explore the key concepts of malware analysis and memory forensics using real-world examples, learn the art of detecting, analyzing and investigating malware threats, understanding adversary tactics and techniques ... that's how groundbreaking it is. the book is described on its back cover. As adversaries become sophisticated and carry out advanced malware attacks on critical infrastructures, data centers, and public and private organizations, detecting, responding, and investigating such intrusions is critical for cybersecurity professionals.
https://www.briskinfosec.com This book teaches you the concepts, techniques and tools to understand the behavior and characteristics of malware through malware analysis. It also teaches us techniques to investigate and hunt malware through forensic memory analysis ... Complementary of course to those that our expert Rafa.Pedrero brings us with his wonderful post. It will introduce us to the basics of malware analysis and gradually progressing to the more advanced concepts of code analysis and memory forensics. It uses real-world malware samples, infected memory images, and visual diagrams to help us better understand the topic and equip us with the skills to analyze, investigate, and respond to malware-related incidents. Blue Team Field Manual (BTFM) - Alan J White, Ben Clark Blue Team Field Manual - Alan J White, Ben Clark BTFM is a Cybersecurity Incident Response Guide that aligns with the NIST Cybersecurity Framework consisting of the five main functions of Identify, Protect, Detect, Respond and Recover, providing the tactical steps to follow and the commands to use when prepares, works and recovers from a Cybersecurity Incident. The opposite side of this book is the RTFM (Red Team Field Manual). Computer piracy in networks - Ramón Base A definitive guide to ethical hacking, it provides a complete knowledge about hacking, its types, starting with ethical hacking, hacking in wireless networks, the installation and use of Kali Linux, the virtualization of machines and the description of the main programs that are used in the world of cybersecurity. The book is reinforced with the practical penetration test with Kali Linux and cybersecurity practices in systems.
https://www.briskinfosec.com But, in addition to this, necessary basic concepts are seen such as: What is hacking and the differences between hacking and cracking. Types of hacking to combat brute force, ransomware, network attacks, dos, ddos, phishing, tabnapping, web attack and social engineering. It also helps to understand the various threats in wireless networks, the encryption and security of the password, wep, wpa, wpa2, wpa3, all kinds of attack on the password, examples to make keylogger, gain access on the remote machine , client / server or best practices to make a secure system ... many necessary concepts and a very good starting book. Cybersecurity: Attack and Defense Strategies - Yuri Diogenes and Erdal Ozkaya (English) The book begins by talking about the cybersecurity posture before moving on to the Red Team tactics, where we will learn the basic syntax of Windows and Linux tools that are commonly used to perform the necessary operations. We will also gain practical experience in the use of new Red Team techniques with powerful tools such as python and PowerShell, which will allow us to discover vulnerabilities in our system and how to exploit them. We will also see how adversaries tend to compromise a system and how they hack the user's identity, as well as the different tools used by the Red Team to find vulnerabilities in a system. Like the previous Malware analysis book, Packt publishers have very good titles. Play with the enemy - Clint Watts (English) A former FBI special agent, U.S. Army officer, and leading cybersecurity expert provides a devastating and essential look at the disinformation campaigns, fake news, and wiretapping operations that have become the forefront of modern warfare, and how we can protect ourselves and our country against them.
https://www.briskinfosec.com Clint Watts electrified the nation when he testified before the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence about Russian meddling in the 2016 election. In "Messing with the Enemy," the expert on counterterrorism, cybersecurity and national security introduces us to a terrifying world in the one that terrorists and cybercriminals do not hack your computer, but your mind. Watts reveals how these criminals use the information from your social networks and that of your family, friends and colleagues to map your social networks, identify your vulnerabilities, dominate your fears and take advantage of your preferences. Watts examines a number of social media platforms, from the earliest internet forums to the current titans of Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn, and nefarious actors from Al Qaeda to the Islamic State to the Russian social media troll farm. , to clarify exactly how they use Western social media for their nefarious ends. It explains how it has learned, through its successes and failures, to engage with hackers, terrorists, and even Russians, and how these interactions have spawned methods of counterattacking those seeking to harm people on the Internet. Blue Team Handbook - Don Murdoch (English) BTHb is one of the best cybersecurity books, since it is continually being updated, being by version 2.2. The Blue Team Manual is a "zero chaff" reference guide for those behind cybersecurity incidents, security engineers, and InfoSec professionals alike. The Blue Team Handbook includes essential information in a condensed manual format. The main topics include the incident response process, how attackers work, common tools for incident response, a methodology for network analysis, common indicators of compromise, Windows and Linux analysis processes, usage examples of tcpdump, Snort IDS usage , packet headers, and numerous other reference topics.
https://www.briskinfosec.com The book is specifically designed to share the "real life experience," so it is peppered with practical techniques from the authors' extensive career in incident handling. Cybersecurity for Home and Office - John Bandler (English) This book can help anyone take charge of their cybersecurity and privacy, and provides a solid understanding of cybercrime, privacy threats, information security, technology, and evolving legal and regulatory requirements. Readers of any technical skill level can take ownership of their own cybersecurity and privacy in a methodical way. Security of information may seem overwhelming, but this book presents a simple framework, the four pillars of cybersecurity l own Bandler : Develop knowledge and awareness Secure computing devices Secure data Secure networks and Internet use. This is a continuous process of improvement and requires making reasoned decisions. The book also establishes the concept of a security dial , which organizations and individuals need to select a desired level of security based on individualized risks and their appetite for risk. Running Windows Command Line Investigations - Chet Hosmer, Joshua Bartolomie , Rosanne Pelli (English) The Executing Windows Command Line Investigations book addresses the needs of cybersecurity professionals focusing on digital forensic investigation and incident response. These are the people who are ultimately responsible for executing critical tasks such as incident response, forensic analysis and

The authors walk us through the importance of the Windows CLI , as well as its optimal configuration and use. Next, we will learn the importance of maintaining test integrity, test volatility, and gain a proper insight into methodologies that limit the possibility of inadvertently destroying or altering tests. The book is accompanied by software called Proactive Incident Response Command Shell (PIRCS), developed by Harris Corporation (where several of the authors worked). Advanced Penetration Testing: Hacking the World's Most Secure Networks - Will Allsopp (English) Advanced Penetration Testing: Hacking the World's Most Secure Networks takes hacking far beyond Kali linux and Metasploit to provide a more complex attack simulation. Using techniques not taught in any certification prep or covered in common defensive scanners, this book integrates social engineering, programming, and vulnerability exploitation into a multidisciplinary approach to attacking and compromising high-security environments. From the discovery and creation of attack vectors, and unseen movement through a target company, to the establishment of command and the exfiltration of data, even from organizations without direct Internet connection Today's threats are organized, professionally directed, and profitable. Advanced Penetration Testing goes beyond Kali linux and Metasploit to provide you with advanced penetration testing for high security networks. The Hackers Playbook 3 - Peter Kim (English) By now we are all familiar with penetration testing, but what exactly is a Red Team? Red Teams simulate advanced real-world attacks to test the response of our organization's defensive teams. Finding answers
https://www.briskinfosec.com to questions like: Do our incident response teams have the right tools, skill sets and people to detect and mitigate these attacks? How long would it take us to complete these tasks? This is where, as a Red Team, we come in to accurately test and validate the overall cybersecurity program. THP3 will take our offensive hacking skills, thought processes, and attack routes to the next level. This book focuses on real-world attacks and campaigns, exposing you to different initial entry points, exploitation, custom malware, persistence, and lateral movement. This largely lab-based book will include multiple virtual machines, test environments, and custom THP tools.
