In this section I am going to show you the 5 best books about penetration testing and ethical hacking that I have read throughout my life and in my learning as a security consultant that although I do not have so much experience I have learned a lot about the methodology of attacks with these books, in addition to the fact that these books helped me to take my first steps in this world, I hope you like the list of books that I bring you today, one thing that must be clear and that is that this is something totally subjective, you can that for you these books are not of great help or of great understanding, but for me they have been like the bible in the church.

 

Without further ado, we are going to introduce and comment on some of the things you can learn through these fantastic books, which I emphasize, they have been very helpful to me. 

 

1. Penetration testing a hand on introduction to hacking.

This book in particular was the first book on computer security that I had read in my entire life, since I was passionate about computing from a very young age, I only had certain knowledge about the Windows system and this was my gateway to many things that undoubtedly are incredible. A book written by the great security consultant Georgia Weidman whom I admire more than anything after God.

2. The Hacker Playbook 1: Practical Guide To Penetration Testing

This book in particular and unlike the other books has something extremely characteristic. The subject of the book and the index is something that leaves a lot to say in this case, the book tries to teach from the most basic how it is assembler, bash scripting, buffer overflows and more, además de su increíble forma de explicar los conceptos tanto básicos como más avanzados.

3. The Hacker Playbook 2: Practical Guide To Penetration Testing

What can I say about the second edition of one of the first books that opened the doors to ethical hacking, and not only to hacking but also to use my brain more logically, this book in particular already goes a little further Beyond the basic exploitation techniques, this one is a little more advanced than it fits, it has wonderful content that goes from teaching you how to build your own vulnerable servers with active directory to teaching you how to exploit them.

4. The Hacker Playbook 3: Practical Guide To Penetration Testing

I cannot say much about this book since I have not had the opportunity to read it, but what I have read in forums and websites where they also comment on these issues and of course the famous YouTube that I cannot stay, therefore If I gave a summary of this book without having even read it, I would be flatly lying to you, so I don't want to say more and thus move on to the last book.

5. Ethical Hacking And Penetration Testing

There is something in particular in this book that makes me think that I should recommend it too, because it is a book that goes in depth with every detail and that is extremely important for the correct learning of people and to see how things work in depth.

Enjoy the content!
