Short, engaging, technical, and really fun." —LockBoxx: A Hacker's Blog "A good addition to his series. It covers many more topics to the existing others. This book is available to everyone because all tools and techniques presented are open sources." —OnlineBooksReview "What sets this book apart from other cyber security books is the unique plot it follows . . . The book is written for penetration testers and red teamers, but if you have some knowledge in IT do not hesitate to pick it up.
