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

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

This book is great for beginners and is really easy to follow. I recommend to any one that is learning Linux.

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.

Very well written.

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

I know that there are many good reviews for this book already and that I will be lost in the shuffle. However, I would like to give you my opinion. The book is not three inches thick. I dont have time to read a three-inch book. The book moves along at a great pace with just the right level of detail. If I want more detail on a subject, Ive got the internet at my disposal. The book is not a tutorial. You can turn to any chapter and get instant value. Ive been coding for 37 years. I hate tutorial books. I dont want to follow some tedious example for two-thirds of a book. I want the flexibility to learn at my own pace and learn subjects in the sequence I choose. The book says hackers and Kali but it is not. I wanted to learn enough Linux quickly in order to find my way around and be productive on that operating system. This book gave me that. I use Ubuntu desktop and server.

Indeed one of the best books I have bought for Linux starters.

3 stars since it is well written. Linux intro book. That is all. Minus 2 starts because there was no need for Kali, ubuntu wild have been just fine. No reason for using the word hacker in the title.

If you are a noob, this is a great book to start with. If you know how linux works then nope, u will just wasting money. This is just a basic of Linux

Very useful and too the point. Liked it a lot
