Hack I.T.: Security Through Penetration Testing Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This book is fairly well written but like the author mentions, there is nothing in this book that can not be found on the net. In short, this book is a compilation of various sources up for grabs for free on the net. What is a valuable in this book are all the lessons learnt and real life scenarios that are included.
Since not much new is revealed in this book I suggest not buying this book and instead check out the Open Source Security Methodology Testing Manual, which is a decent framework for penetration testing, including methodology and tools. Alternatively have a look at the NIST publication on penetration testing. Both come at a great price - they are FREE!
If your are exteremely lazy or a newbie to penetration testing then the Hack I.T. book might come in handy as an introduction. However, I suggest using one of the frameworks mentioned above and supplement with sources that are freely available on the web and dedicate time to learn the penetration testing methodologies, tools and techniques instead of reading only one book which scratches the surface.
