There is no best free (e-)book for so-called ethical hacking.
Hacking — is much exploited arena of information technology & security. It has now become a billion dollar industry. Media are another game-changers to promote so-called hackers and such hackers become an idol for newcomers and cyber security training industry exploits them.
In mid 80s & 90s, hacking was termed as programming subculture of the developers’ community. But later it was disguised by the moron media people who little understand hacking, and technology behind the security.
Media falsely related hacking to cyber crime. Some moron then started using a much pretty word — ethical to precede hacking and it’s become Ethical Hacking. Simply ridiculous.
There’s a mushroom growth of cyber security training since couple of years. Most of them are just fake. And innocent young people who think cyber security is a demanding field of computer science, are aspiring to become a hacker.
No one can become hacker by such street courses like CEH. Nor one can become a successful hacker (LOL!) by two or three year nonsense graduate or diploma courses. To become a successful security expert requires lots of sweating hours to study and many sleepless nights to become well-versed with many systems.
People who cannot cope-up with CLI should simply get away from information security field. Also system scripting languages like bash, csh, sh, perl, python are required to write your own code to deal with systems and to talk with the network. By using were tool available in Kali Linux or using Metasploit etc., not means you are a good security expert or so-called hacker.
Cyber security is a matter of own experience to deal with vulnerabilities & threats. I witnessed many students who successfully completed hacking courses like CEH and still struggle to escape if stuck in simple Linux gotcha.
So you want to be a Security Engineer, Penetration Tester, Ethical Hacker?? That’s awesome, we need more people like you.
