Essential Forensics Book
Format: Paperback
I am impressed with the broad range of topics that this book covers. I came out of a Cybersecurity program with a Digital Forensics specialization, so I did have networking knowledge. I looked for resources after graduation to help fill the gaps (courses, books, and tool manuals) in my understanding of the space where networking and forensics meet and found the coverage to be lacking. This book would have helped to tie the two together for me in an easy to read presentation. I am glad that I have read it now though and will keep it as a resource. I bought two more copies to give to current Digital Forensics students that I am mentoring:) Well done on this one!

This book is the real deal
Format: Paperback
This book is the real deal. I found it to be eye-opening, because, despite sounding very advanced and almost next-level, the attacks accompanied by source code show how simple and effective they are in reality.
This book seemed light at first (200 pages), so I was skeptical at it's ability to really tackle advanced topics, but I will say I was very pleasantly surprised. Those two hundred pages are action packed and filled with jaw-dropping 'this is cool' moments.
My only gripe with it is that it's a little formulaic, with the social engineering being shoehorned into every attack, and maybe pushing the whole APT thing too much, like when you really want something to become 'a thing'. Do we really need to socially engineer payloads using the same formula for all of the attacks? Not even one 'ha Ked the router with boring Cisco exploits' example? I guess it wouldn't make for an entertaining book.

Best pentest book read to date
Format: Paperback
This is the best penetration testing book that I have ever read to date. There is such a depth of understanding of penetration testing that is conveyed in this book in the way that the author is able to portray highly advanced topics in a conceptually understandable way. A novice might not be able to follow the text, as it is advanced, but for anyone looking to open their mindset up to becoming a more effective penetration tester, I HIGHLY advise this book.
