This was a solid introduction to pen testing.
I got quite a lot out of it, and picked up the ability to run a few different tools.
I also appreciated the author's walkthroughs over the various reports and how to know when to stop or what to do in the event of any issues.
Would recommend for anyone interested in cybersecurity. If you are not doing pen testing, you should at least know how to protect your systems.
4.4/5
