Be a ninja
The book explains step by step on how to use Kali Linux for web penetration testing. It is a great resource for pros and beginners. The author of this book is the famous Aamir Lakhani, aka Dr. Chaos who documented the Apple zero day SMS. I found out about this book at ISC2 Security Congress and got a chance to meet the one of the authors. Trust me This book will turn you into a ninja. I also recommend his second book XenMobile MDM.
Great Book
This book is a prescriptive tutorial on using Kali Linux, which has quickly become a white hat favorite when it comes to penetration testing toolkits. The authors do a great job a brain dumping practically all of their knowledge into this easy to read and informative book. It is packed with pragmatic, forward thinking, astute information that is the stuff of engineering epiphany.
I highly recommend this book and can also say that the authors are the real deal having spent many years performing threat research.
Must read for security pros.
