When everyone decides to get into cybersecurity, they decide they want to hack. Why? Because hacking sounds cool. In the cybersecurity industry we call it penetration testing. In order to be a good pentester you must have advanced knowledge of networking and multiple operating systems. Below are the following books I used while studying and learning the ins and outs of the red teaming side of cybersecurity. These books won’t exactly teach you everything you need to know, you must supplement book learning with hands on learning such as tryhackme + reading + running your own homelab.

The Kali Linux Penetration Testing Bible also helped me learn advanced functions that the Kali Linux OS has. There were some tools I didn’t even know existed within the book. The pentest bible definitely upped my game with Kali Linux.
