PTES

Metasploit Penetration Testing Guide Structured Around PTES Methodology Released in Russian Translation

A comprehensive Russian edition of the Metasploit penetration testing book has been published, written by key figures behind Kali Linux, Exploit Database, and OffSec. The guide follows the seven-phase PTES methodology from initial client engagement through reporting, covering information gathering, vulnerability analysis, exploitation, post-exploitation including Active Directory attacks, evasion techniques, social engineering, wireless and client-side attacks, custom module development, and cloud environment testing. Authors include Devon Kearns, Jim O’Gorman, Mati Aharoni, and David Kennedy, with a foreword by HD Moore. Russian technical editing was handled by mr.grogrig, a specialist in antivirus evasion and reverse engineering. All examples rely on freely available tools such as Kali Linux and Metasploitable that can be run locally, including on Apple Silicon hardware. The book emphasizes practical methodology over tool lists and includes a full end-to-end pentest scenario.
