So far a very comprehensive book, (I’m half way through) goes through the fundamentals and difficulties of penetration test. Explains different ways of obtaining information and has good coverage of tools within Kali for various methods of exploitation. I’m not a professional pen-tester but I can say a book like this provides useful information and is really something you would want to keep on your shelf.
