Ratings and reviews

this book is good for a beginner but the methods taught in this book are easily available on the internet , also the methods taught in this book are rather old. So think twice before spending on this one! overall it is fine if you want to try your hands on hacking

I started off few years ago with backtrack and was thrown off a bit by kali this book makes sense and helped me find my grounding only problem I had was the whole nessus install had to find a separate download package
