I love this book because it is excellent for beginners. It's a great book for penetration testing and has a step by step guide when setting up Kali. The pictures made it very easy for me to set up Kali. Everything was explained exceptionally well which made it easy to understand.

-Glen has a fantastic way of writing that makes his books easy to read and digest immediately.-In this book, he assumes no prerequisite knowledge, but rather he takes his time walking his readers through introductory concepts and installation guides, all the way through to descriptive flowcharts of attacks and to actual commands for the attacks using the highlighted tools.-By the end of the book, I had walked through multiple scans, sniffs and attacks, through his multiple hands-on demonstrations with a wide variety of tools. Highly recommended!
