Conventions

In this book, you will find a number of styles of text that distinguish between different kinds of information. Here are some examples of these styles, and an explanation of their meaning.

Code words in text are shown as follows: "If we expand our imported data, we will be able to see the service listed under the ipproto tcp item."

Any command-line input or output is written as follows:

New terms and important words are shown in bold. Words that you see on the screen, in menus or dialog boxes for example, appear in the text like this: "Note that before the launch of the Metasploit console application, we will need to start the Postgres database that we can find in the BackBox menu's Services section."
