Hacker Methodology Handbook

In the ethical (or even in the black hat) world of hacking there are a ton of program tools that are used. Trying to find all the possible option syntax the commands and such can be a nightmare. This book lays it all out in a handy quick reference that would rival even the top level guys' notes.

This is just a list of the Pentest framework. It mentions tools to use during each phase, but that is all it does. It doesn't go into the usefuleness of the tools or anything of the sort. This is seriously lacking. I do not recommend this for any pentester that has any experience at all. The best that this is for is the absolute beginner and nothing more. You can get a lot more information from the Blue and Red Team manuals. Honestly, you can get more information from any of the CEH books for they give the same exact outline that his guide provides.At the cost of this guide, I was expecting a lot more. It really isn't worth the cost at all. I'm an experienced pentester and this was just super basic for the likes of me. Waste of money and time. I just gave it to a college student that is in a programming class and he has already given it away himself. Even he didn't find it useful. Maybe if it explained the tools or had some real examples of the syntax used for the tools, but it didn't even really provide that. It basically goes "OSINT, use Google Dorks. Recon, use Recon-NG. Web site information gathering, use NMAP." That is the structure of the book and it is useless, unless you are an absolute beginner. If you have even a month of experience, this book will be useless to you.

This is a very well laid out book for anyone that wants to learn how to be a pentester. As the description states it’s for someone wanting to “jump into the world of penetration testing” which it is perfect for. It goes through each phase and what the common tools are to use, as well as how to use them with great examples and walk throughs. I've focused on primarily blue team security for the last 10+ years and this is exactly what has helped me begin to round out my skill set.

This is a reference, not a textbook, and it does it's job really well! Depending on the customer, you don't always have the ability to Google everything, and even when you do, it's nice to have a physical reference in front of you. As a security professional, this now accompanies my personal field notes and the rtfm any time I'm working. One of my favorite parts about it is that there's plenty of room to scratch notes in. Happy hacking!

I wish I'd had this for my final exam in Ethical Hacking. There are tons of tools here that I definitely could have used, had I known about them. Don't get me wrong, I had the tools I needed, but I could have given it that push that makes the difference between my instructor going, "Eh, A," to my instructor going, "wow! A!"

As a student in college and getting into the cybersecurity field this handbook is amazing. Many other students often forget tools used or how to use them. This mitigates and helps that issue.Simple, organized and explains each tools usage. The only thing I hope to see changed so far is the cover could be a little thicker to make it more durable like BTFM or RTFM. Thank you so much!

Great buy

Loved how this book is logically laid out per each pentesting phase. It’s great for beginners AND for people that want a quick reference manual. I look forward to putting the methods in this book to work on vulnhub & HTB! Happy hacking!!!

'Methodology' is a system of methods... Not a list of tools. This is not a book about methodology more than it is a Man page.You do not need to buy this book! You can find most ALL the information from using the '--help' flag after each tool.There are complete mess ups on certain pages like NETDISCOVER gives commands for dmitry (page 16). Some spelling mistakes.Not something I would recommend buying. Get the Hackers Playbook series instead.

This is literally just a compilation what’s readily available online, I’m dead-set disappointed and would not bother with it.

Immer wieder gut zum Zeitvertreib :D
