What you need for this book

To follow and recreate the recipes of this book, you will need two systems. One can be your pen-testing system and the other can be your target. Alternatively, you can also work with a single system and set up a penetration testing environment by using any virtualization software.

Apart from that you will require an ISO image of BackTrack 5 which has pre-installed Metasploit and other tools that we will be discussing in this book. Alternatively, you can download the Metasploit framework separately for your preferred operating system from its official website.
