A University of Virginia researcher has a new book out — and the title will be instantly recognizable in the cybersecurity field.
Daniel G. Graham, assistant professor of computer science in the School of Engineering and Applied Science and a former program manager at Microsoft, joined the authors of the authoritative “Metasploit: The Penetration Tester’s Guide” for the book’s second edition, released in January.
Penetration testing simulates cyberattacks on systems to identify vulnerabilities. Banks, for example, have whole teams dedicated to keeping your money safe.
The book’s namesake comes from the Metasploit Project, a cybersecurity testing architecture that includes an open-source framework. The book serves as a comprehensive, user friendly introduction for cybersecurity professionals.
Students use “Metasploit” in Graham’s Network Security course.
“After my book ‘Ethical Hacking’ (2021) was released, I was invited by the publisher, my editor and other authors to contribute to this edition,” Graham said. “It was a great opportunity to ensure that the cybersecurity field has an up-to-date, go-to resource for high-level security assessment.”
