This book is not for people actually using Kali as their main OS, all scenarios are built around launching Kali from a virtual Windows sandbox, requiring you to have Windows installed, but then again, instructions are poor and not recreatable, obviously noone has seriously edited this book. But there are a few good tips and bits here and there.

I was excited to see that Glen's Kali Linux book covers an extensive range of topics. I was particularly glad to see the legal aspect of ethical hacking been addressed as most books do not touch on this. There is a methodical way of teaching every topic in this book (this also comes with picture guides, making it user-friendly). All in all, if you are looking to start and advance your career in Penetration Testing with Kali Linux, Glen's book is the best starting point.

Excellent book on the introduction to pen-testing & Kali Linux, steep learning curve. Setting up the virtual Labs is a challenge, would have helped if the book showed the VR Lab set up on a Linux host i.e. Ubuntu running VM, as the book shows how the to set up Windows as the host running VM, just a minor point. have only so far read the first few chapters, lots more to learn and explore.

How do I know my custom duty charges? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

The amount of duty payable varies greatly depending on the imported goods, the country of origin and several other factors like the total invoice amount or dimensions like weight, and other such criteria applicable in your country.

For example:
