Ratings and reviews

I was thoroughly impressed with the contents of this book. I have read other books on Metasploit and did not find them to go far beyond the basics, whereas Nipun Jaswal's "Mastering Metasploit" goes way beyond the basics. This book was written so even a beginner could understand, however what makes this book stand out is the focus on advanced techniques and clearly written examples. It was written logically and methodically and the objectives were clearly stated from the beginning. I would recommend this book to anybody that uses Metasploit and wants to master it.

Nice one....
