Ratings and reviews

Thanks Kamal Sir for the book. I'm an avid reader of your blogs. Your blogs had created interest in me for cybersecurity in my college days, and thanks to them that I'm excelling in that field. I was so eager to read the book that i completed it in just 1 day. This is not only good for beginners, non-tech people, and new developers, but will also help the experienced tech people. They can use these things, and write their codes in such a way that they can minimize the risks of being hacked, however it can't be zero, as you also mentioned. Bottom Line: Please do read it once, I'm sure you will love it. A must read for all. :)

Hacking knowledge is not only required for getting into other's system, its required to safe your own systems as well. And this book is specifically designed for that. Great Work Mr. Writer.
