New Book: Basic Security Testing with Kali Linux, 4th Edition

A fully updated version of the very popular “Basic Security Testing with Kali Linux” is now available! It is a totally cover to cover edit, using the latest pentesting tools and Ethical Hacking techniques.

My Basic Security book has been an industry standard training guide for about 10 years now. It has been used by universities, all branches of the US military and by training centers and students worldwide. I was flooded with requests to do a tool update, and when I started the update, realized how out of date the previous (2018) version had become.

I reached out to leaders of the security community, government trainers and university professors asking what they would like to see in an updated Basic Kali training book. I took every comment and input to heart and created Basic Security Testing with Kali Linux, 4th Edition!

What’s new:

  • Complete cover to cover edit
  • Written for the latest version of Kali Linux
  • All tools sections have been updated – old tools removed, new tools updated
  • Older versions of Windows removed, focuses on Windows 10 & 11
  • More tool explanations and techniques included

What’s the same:

  • Learn by doing
  • Hands on, Step-by-Step tutorials
  • Plenty of pictures to make steps more understandable
  • Covers the same major topics as the original, but using the latest tools
  • The new AI Generated front cover!

My goal was to provide a common sense Ethical Hacking how-to manual that would be useful to both new and veteran security professionals. I also tried to keep as much of the original material and “spirit” as possible to help professors who have been using it for years to be very comfortable in using it. Thank you to everyone for your continuous support and feedback, it is greatly appreciated!

So what are you waiting for, check it out! Currently the #1 new release in Computer Operating Systems.

If you enjoy it, check out my Advanced Security Testing with Kali Linux book, released last year!
