Really helpful for studying for the GCIH. Great book to have on hand.

Print is a poor choice of formatting for the information provided. I wouldn't recommend this as a pickup .

I buy this series to the authors and see if any new tools or techniques popped up that we haven't yet documented and automated as part of our offensive security playbooks. A set of printed-out command lines aren't that handy.
