I found this book to be a bit all over the place. Sometimes it can be really good about providing details and in some cases way too in-depth for a novice to intermediate pentester and other times the topics covered felt incredibly shallow. It’ll build some rudimentary foundations here and there but it’s definitely not a reference book for the bookshelf.
