Even I have no idea about anything security, it was easy for me to understand the core concepts. I would recommend it :)

After scouring numerous resources, taking online and instructor-led training, and speaking to hundreds of professional penetration testers, this has been the only resource that properly covers Active Directory Exploitation.There are books, such as Becoming the Hacker (best for web app penetration testing), that I would recommend to build on the foundation this book sets for some of the other topics. I might also compare this to Mastering Kali Linux for Advanced Penetration Testing, Third Edition (best for physical penetration testing). However, this book is unique in a few key ways.1) This book mentions PowerView, an essential suite for Windows Server Domain security testing. Unlike the other books that do mention PowerView, this book goes into detail about the intrinsics and internals.2) The book levers a technique that we've seen elsewhere, SPN Scanning, but simplifies it and consolidates the data gathering element in a simple command-by reference. It introduced SPN Scanning earlier than other publications and trainings. SPN Scanning is key to remaining under the radar yet able to pivot rapidly and cleanly.3) Although it could already use a refresh, the section on Continuous Integration penetration testing was prescient. No other books cover this so prominently, yet they should.Overall, besides the 2 books I mentioned that compete with this title, it's one of the best books on Infrastructure Penetration Testing and the current best publication on penetrating Active Directory / Windows Server technologies. I would definitely recommend all 3, especially in combination.

The book does not cover the details of anything in detail. Its only good if you don't know if that could happen .I won't recommend it to anyone . Waste of money .....

This is one of the most horrible books that I have ever read. Even class-text books that teach kids basic computer security have better information than this. The author seems to have no idea of what he is talking about. Every chapter goes into very high level about every topic including the topics of exploitation which is what this book intends to sell. I was really excited when I first looked at the table of contents in the book as it seemed promising covering topics like Docker exploitation, VPN exploitation, etc. However if you read any of these chapters you will soon realize that chapters dont even cover the basics of these technologies correctly. I usually dont like to be such harsh critic, but honestly the book is not even worth 1 dollar in my opinion. Its a combination of everything that we can find for free and still better arranged and explained else where on the Internet. Overall it was extremely disappointing
