I was given a copy of this book to read and provide feedback, and this is my honest, (unpaid) opinion.If you’re a beginner looking to get into bug bounties, this book is a solid start. It covers a lot of foundational concepts you need to get started in a clear, organized way. The author takes you from the basics of choosing a program to techniques for finding vulnerabilities. It balances technical concepts with practical advice, so you can immediately apply what you learn. The chapters on reporting and communicating with security teams are a solid bonus since this is an extremely undervalued skill to have.To be clear I think this book is a great foundational kickstart for people, but in this field, you really need to be a self starter and take all of the bits of info from this book and go deeper into those topics on your own. There’s no way one book will cover it all.

If you're looking to get into bug bounty or are just starting out, this book will definitely bring your skills to the next level!The book covers a wide range of topics including attacks, techniques, and processes. This includes reading engagement language, types of vulnerabilities, types of exploits, how to write a report, and more.The book doesn't go into much detail on some of these topics, and just scratches the surface. So the only con I have is that the book isn't catered to those trying to dig deeper on a subject like exploits, etc.Overall definitely worth the read!

Customs duty are charges levied on goods when they cross international borders. It is a tax that is imposed on imported goods. These duties are charged by special authorities and bodies created by local governments and are meant to protect local industries, economies, and businesses.

The orders shipped to the countries that are listed under EU27 will not bear custom charges. They are paid by Packt as part of the order.

List of EU27 countries: www.gov.uk/eu-eea:

A custom duty or localized taxes may be applicable on the shipment and would be charged by the recipient country outside of the EU27 which should be paid by the customer and these duties are not included in the shipping charges been charged on the order.

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:

  • If you live in Mexico, and the declared value of your ordered items is over $ 50, for you to receive a package, you will have to pay additional import tax of 19% which will be $ 9.50 to the courier service.
  • Whereas if you live in Turkey, and the declared value of your ordered items is over € 22, for you to receive a package, you will have to pay additional import tax of 18% which will be € 3.96 to the courier service.
