Linux Basics for Hackers: Getting Started with Networking, Scripting, and Security in Kali

This should be your first book when it comes to CyberSecurity and Ethical hacking.

This book started out as a great overview for kali linux and getting set up. With some exceptions most of the walkthroughs worked flawlessly during the first half of the book but towards the end some of the commands weren’t exactly right. I was able to perform ~90% of the exercises but it would be good to revisit and provide the necessary updates. Overall very pleased.

Ive only just started my Tech journey so Im definitely an empty cup, but this book is totally worth it and breaks things down into terms and explanations that are easy to understand and follow. I bought the spiral bound to make it easier to set it on a book stand and have it stay open to reference while Im learning. Each chapter ends with a mini practical exercise to reinforce what you just learned. I liked this so much that I bought the Master Hacker book just a few days ago as well!

This is a wonderful book, and does such a good job at explaining things in an understable way for anyone.

Ive taken 2 separate Linux courses costing several hundred dollars each, but I feel that I retained the information better with this book! Definitely worth the cost, buying 2nd book now!

if you are starting from zero this book might be good for you.

Perfect book for the beginners. Easy to to go through.

The book is essential for new Linux users. Yes, it provides excellent knowledge on using Linux for everyday tasks as well as for beginning hackers. Undoubtedly a wonderful starting point for new users using a new database component for this type of software.

Excellent Book, only wish I would have bought it sooner....

This book is a great overview of the Linux system and provides concrete information on how it works. I like how the author simplifies each concept and is not like other technical books Ive read that get stuck on mundane details. One thing I will note is that when doing the exercises with the later chapters, the tools such as aircrack-ng cant be used on VirtualBox simply because VMs dont work with the internal Wi-Fi adapter unless you buy a USB Wi-Fi adapter for $20 or so. Other than that I think this is great information that has set up the foundations for my career.
