Review: This book was a great sequel to the first Hacker Playbook - This book was a great sequel to the first Hacker Playbook. I've always enjoyed how the methods that are presented in this book stray away from simple penetration testing methodology into more targeted and smart hacking, with varying emphasis on how loud or silent to be in an engagement. Furthermore, the tools presented in this book as alternatives to the industry standard (e.x, Masscan as opposed to Nmap), are all tools I now include in my arsenal for engagements. Plus, instead of just looking at the same methods of attacking machines and different computing technologies, there are relevant vulnerabilities that are illustrated from an entire year of security research from various hackers (Heartbleed, Shellshock, etc.), making the skills you can acquire from this book relevant to the things you would normally see deployed in today's environment. Most noticeably, the practical approach to this book, the setup of a legitimate testing environment, and illustrated examples of techniques that are based off of real engagements make this book a must have for beginners and experts alike. All in all, 10 out of 10. I highly recommend purchasing this book if you are a penetration tester or looking to get into the security field.
Review: "Blade" does it again... 5/5 - Security professional with 5-6 years of high level incident response and threat intel work here. These (THPB 1 and 2) are my go to books for pen testing / offsec. I like Kim's writing style and approach to covering the topics so I always pick up these books at some point. It's a nice and easy light read but has enough technical info and insight by the author to be useful to any information security professional from day onward. It's also worth noting that the author is actively engaged in the security community and working as a very successful penetration tester. Between that and updating the corresponding website ([...]) it's a good value. At the price of less than a pizza delivery and generally in the list of my top 10 security books/series, it's an easy choice to pick these up.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good book for practical approach
*by E***O on November 8, 2018*

I gave to my son this book because he will study in the university informatics with option in cybersecurity. It has a good approach and simple explanations to use with Kali Linux and It got the interest of my son. I think that it has a good written with compact explanations for security IT terms and if you do a lab with equipments in a small LAN this will be a good book for everyone that feels passion for cybersecurity. Only a bad situation is the paper that it is similar to a copy in low resolution but I think this one is about the low price. The author has good approach for a young student.
