Why I chose to order real BOOKS
I am planning to do the OSCP, as such I was recommened to read and learn that information contained in these books, to better prepare myself for it.
I thought that was a great idea, and its where my passion lies. So why not?!!?!?
Ordered the books
So I looked at Amazon and the UK book repsitory. The UK book repository was cheaper for the first 2 books, but Amazon came in just a tiny bit cheaper for 3 books. I wanted them at the same time so I did not bother splitting my order.
The books were to arrive in August 09ish...
Arrival of my books.
Expecting the books a month later I was surprised when my partner told me a massive bag came with my name on it. Looking at the bag I was like rightio... A massive garbage bag what on earth could this be.It was my books, not surprisingly, but when you view the pic you will see what I am blogging about it.
-> The bag....... trolololol, what an eye sore!
What books did I order??!?!?!
The Web Applications Hackers Handbook -> HERE
I did read some XSS in this book. It is so fantastic, goes into great depth and I think it has some humor, or maybe that is just me.
Hacking Exposed 7 -> HERE
Sorry have not read
The Art of Human Hacking. -> HERE
I read this in bed, is really great, to see the human side of attacks/exploits is really 'great' to see/read.
I recommended them! (even the one I have not read yet).
I'm currently doing the OSCP. Started on sunday. It's a good course so far. Alot of material is covered. I would also recommend reading the Basics of hacking and penetration testing by Patrick Engebretson. Get a good working knowledge of Linux/Backtrack including Bash Scripts if you don't already.
ReplyDeleteHey Dan, thanks heaps for the reply. I have done much research on OSCP. How many hours a night are you spending on it?
ReplyDeleteThanks for the tips! I have a very basic bash understanding, but certainly will do more before I start OSCP.
I am hoping to finish a security tube python course this month.
