You should be familiar with or have a basic idea of Assembly before starting this book. So far, all books have cut into the topic of Web Application Hacking as a separate section. This book is dedicated to the topic. The book was written by the guys who developed Burp Suite, the most popular Web Application Testing framework out there.
If you get a book that was written by people who developed an actual Web Application Testing framework, you can just make your best bet on the value you find in it. This is a behemoth of a book with its pages.
It was last updated in the year , so the content is still very relevant today. So many companies use Web Applications and many of them have flaws because they were poorly developed or not updated. That being said, if you are serious about working in Cyber Security , you will, or should not be able to avoid this book. This book takes you through Web Application Security step by step, from the very beginning until you eventually have a good grasp on the topic.
Highly recommended addition to your Ethical Hacking Books collection. This book was written by a security expert, researcher, and trainer Georgia Weidman. Penetration Testing: A Hands-On Introduction to Hacking teaches the fundamental skills that every penetration tester needs. You will build a virtual lab with Kali Linux and a couple of vulnerable virtual machines and you will run through multiple scenarios in this environment.
Tools like Wireshark, Nmap, and Burp Suite are being used in this book, amongst many others. Some people really love the explanation skills of Georgia and swear by it, some people I know personally also used it as a preparation for the OSCP test. This book has a lot of step-by-step going on in it, so very easy to understand even for beginners. Caveat : Unfortunately, several people have reported that parts of the labs and the external materials in the book are no longer available.
First things first, this is not one of the Ethical Hacking Books that teach you penetration testing. This is a book that teaches you Kali Linux. Kali Linux, formerly known as Backtrack, is the by far most popular penetration testing distribution out there. Therefore, it just makes sense for you to learn it.
In this book, the Kali developers themselves will take you on a journey through the operating system and help you to maximize your use of Kali Linux. You will learn all the fundamentals of Kali Linux, you will learn Linux basics and concepts and you will learn how to install Kali Linux in all kinds of different scenarios Laptop, Desktop, Server, Virtual, etc. On top of that, you will learn how to configure packages and how to keep your Kali installed updated the right way.
They even take you through things like deployment in large enterprise networks and very advanced topics like kernel compilation, the creation of custom ISO files and encryption.
This is why I rate this book Beginner-Advanced. You can definitely learn something new from this book no matter where you are coming from. That being said, if you work with Kali, pick up this book, it will take you to the next level and keep you secure in the long run. You can also check out my article to at least do the bare essential steps after installing Kali Linux as a beginner.
Now one could argue if this fits in the category of Hacking Books or not, but for me it definitely does. Ghost in the Wires is a book by one of the most well-known hackers there ever was: Kevin Mitnick. So, why would I recommend this book? Because it is a Hacking Book by definition. This book tells the real story of Kevin Mitnick, a computer Hacker that had his prime between the years and , where he finally got arrested by the FBI after being on the run for several years.
Kevin hacked his first computer system at the age of 16, from there on out, there was no way back. I devoured this book in no time, I had so much fun reading it that I blazed through it within a week, which is very unusual for me. A must-read for every wannabe Hacker! By the way, Kevin works as a very successful security consultant since the year , he consults Fortune companies and… the FBI lol. So you can see, he has grown up and works as an ethical hacker now.
He also published a couple of other books on stuff like Social Engineering and how to stay safe on the Internet. I had to include at least one more advanced book in this Hacking Books list to satisfy everyone. But no, really, Advanced Penetration Testing has gained a lot of traction lately. This means it teaches you real-world techniques far beyond the usual Kali Linux tool. You will learn how tools actually work and also how to write your own tools from start to finish.
This helps you to better understand how the tools you use actually work, giving you an edge over anyone who is just able to use out-of-the-box tools.
It also covers a little Social Engineering. A lot of more advanced folks have recommended this book to me. But really, be aware, this is for advanced people only! I want to mention it here, because it is hands down, the best book on Metasploit that I have ever read.
The author, Michael Messner, is a developer with the Metasploit team and continuously contributes to the project. He has in-depth knowledge of the Metasploit framework and has a great way of teaching you all the things you need to know about Metasploit. I want to mention it there for everyone who is capable of speaking German, and I wish that there will be an English release of the book one day for all of you to enjoy.
