2.0 out of 5 stars
Well written, but VERY basic,
By
This review is from: Professional Penetration Testing: Volume 1: Creating and Learning in a Hacking Lab (Paperback)
When I bought this book I was already familiar with buffer overflows, scanning and the very basics of pentesting. I had hoped that this book would delve into technical detail, especially advanced topics such as ASLR/DEP/etc. If you're looking for a book that will teach you how to write professional reports, and will teach you about US Specific laws re: pentesting then this is the book you want. If you're looking for in-depth technical knowledge and are serious about a career in pentesting I would suggest skipping this book/these courses and looking at the Offensive Security courses. At $1100 I consider the offsec PWB course to be an excellent value, conversely I feel I overpaid for this book.

An Excellent Resource,

This review is from: Professional Penetration Testing: Volume 1: Creating and Learning in a Hacking Lab (Paperback)
This is a very well written book, and it includes slides and lecture from 2 full courses from [...]The courses included here are the HPTF and HIPT courses, which are no longer offered via the web site. The content covers much more than a how-to form some of the tools available in the trade, but actual tips from real life experience on how to get started in the field.

Excellent and complete book,
This review is from: Professional Penetration Testing: Volume 1: Creating and Learning in a Hacking Lab (Paperback)
I bought this book about 6 months ago to help me set up my lab. Everything is very well explained. It contains lots of details but somehow, the amount of information doesn't make reading too heavy.Excellent book. It helped me a lot starting my career!
