Can anyone recommend books good for beginners?
« on: July 04, 2014, 08:23:48 am »
Hello,

I have a friend who is in America. He will return to Vietnam at the end of this month and since there aren't resources like that here (other than the internet), I wanted to have him bring me some books. What books can you recommend for a beginner wanting to learn penetration testing? I am using Kali Linux and it has a lot of tools in it. I have followed some tutorials online successfully but I would like to understand the underlying concepts of everything instead of mindlessly copying someone else's youtube video.

I understand that there is a lot of information online, but I look books the most so I can hold it, feel how far along I have progressed, make notes and stuff. I am reading a CCNA book at the moment to gain an understanding of networking better. If there is something more detailed you can recommend, please tell me.

Thanks !
