For a decade I was a partner in a company that specialized in payment security. A third of our company was dedicated to penetration testing. I understood on a high level what they did, and I understood all of the business and legal issues around their work, but I never really knew anything about how they actually practiced their art, so now a few years out from working with that company, I thought that I should learn a little more. This book was not the place to start. I wasn't the right target audience, but it is hard for me to imagine who would be. It starts out with a basic introduction to hacking, black hats, white hats and what they do that anybody interested enough to pick up this book would almost certainly already know. Then there was a brief section in the middle that actually got interesting where Mr. Codings talks about different kinds of scans and how you do them and then some of the basics of how to analyze scan results and to proceed from there, but it isn't really a how to, just a tease. And then in the last part the book devolves into an incomprehensible catalog of hacking tools, where general functionality is described, but without any real description of how to use the tools and the kinds of situations that come up where one is better than another or how you would use them to get around difficult barriers in an attempt to penetrate a system. If you want to learn how to hack, get another book. If you want to learn about the history of hacking, get another book. In short, get another book.

Great read

This book lucidly explains the basics of ethical hacking,looking at penetration testing and the tool’s required.The only downside is that it hasn’t gone into the technical details of hacking .If that’s what you’re looking for then this book is not for you.It’s however gives the basics to build upon.I will definitely recommend.
