Underwhelming at best - Should be called "Beginners Guide to Kali" D W I'll go through my thoughts as the book is laid out:Chapters 1 though 3. Essentially it's talking about the basics of how to install and use a debian/ubuntu based OS. This information contains more screen shots per page than actual text, and fairly useless screenshots at that. If someone needs this level of help to simply install the OS, then you would think it would be in a more beginner level book. There is literally pages of discussion on how to use dpkg and apt.Furthermore, the book is about 185 pages, excluding appendices. This information spans about 35 pages. Not as technical as I expected Jason Loera I purchased this book to gain an understanding of how to execute commands in Kali Linux. Unfortunately, the book focuses heavily on theory while providing very basic tool use. Being a CEH, I'm familiar with theory and the tools available in this release, but I want to become very acquainted with the tool commands and switches for my pen tests. This book doesn't exactly offer that. For a beginning pen tester, I think this book provides decent guidance on pen testing from a high level, but you're better off relying on the easily available manuals for actual testing.. Expected more content. This book is good for beginners but doesn't go much further than that. I good portion of the book is instruction on how to set up Kali. I was surprised that wireless hacking wasn't even covered. Good for absolute newbies but beyond that, much of the information can be found elsewhere and more in-depth.
