Hacking and Security: The Comprehensive Guide to Ethical Hacking, Penetration Testing, and Cybersecurity (Rheinwerk Computing)

The material is well covered and relates to non-bookworms like me. The font is a bit on the large side on the printed version. If they reduced the font they could save some trees, book binding is sturdy and the index is good for my taste. It arrived fast and without an scratches. The author knows his stuff and is engaging.

This book, imo, is singularly the best book for IT Security and Cybersecurity. The authors aren’t just describing things - for a lack of a better word - from an ‘external’ perspective rather from a detailed internal perspective that shows their grasps on their respective expertises. They don’t hold back on showing you the best methods for technological attack vectors while noting that the purpose for this is the end goal of a robust security implementation.

This book has EVERYTHING! Nearly 1200 pages packed with valuable information.Currently, I'm a Cybersecurity graduate student, and what drew me to this particular book was the amount of information on a myriad of topics. In addition, this book is current and published this year (2023). As with anything, most books are outdated by the time they are published, especially in the cyber realm. Our textbooks in school haven't caught up and some are seven years old. That’s a generation in cybersecurity.I plan as using this book as a supplement to my current textbooks and reference corresponding chapters to my assignment as they pertain.One thing to keep in mind is that giving the size of this book and all the topics covered, the information is going to be just a quick review and maybe an example or instructions on how to use. It helps if you are familiar with penetration testing / ethical hacking. For beginners its great because it will open and blow your mind with what's possible and tools available. In addition it will help guide you in creating your Kali Virtual Machine.If I had on area I wished they would have thought of or offered, and that is a PDF version with purchase. Other “major” publishers for tech textbooks offer this for free by having you scan a QR CODE inside the book. Just a thought.

I recently read Hacking and Security: The Comprehensive Guide to Ethical Hacking, Penetration Testing, and Cybersecurity (First Edition, July 27, 2023) by Michael Kofler and team. This massive 1,141-page volume blends theory and hands-on exercises brilliantly - it not only covers classic pentesting tools like Kali Linux, Nmap, Hydra, and Wireshark but also takes a modern turn into cloud, mobile, and IoT security - exactly what today's professionals need The structure is excellent: diagrams, code samples, and real-world scenarios keep you engaged while sharpening both mindset and skillset . The automatic egg candler feature… Just kidding, wrong product. 😉 Back to this book: it's structured like a thorough course, ideal for sysadmins, security engineers, developers, or anyone serious about protecting systems In short, this is both a reference and a training manual - deep enough for veterans, accessible enough for motivated beginners. Highly recommended for anyone entering or growing in the cybersecurity field.

Of course you can't cover everything in a book but this one is more thorough than any other book I read on the subject.

Awesome product. Will definitely recommend this.

Llegó a tiempo , antes de lo previsto, gran libro, mucha información por leer y seguir aprendiendo

If love was a book for the cyber nerds this would be it
