              Hey guys whats up? I’m opening this thread to talk about books related to pentest, exploitation and hacking in general.
I have just ordered the Rtfm: Red Team Field Manual from Amazon.
If you have any recommendation for a good book reading, type below.
             
            
              
           
          
            
            
              The senior pen tester who interviewed me recommended the hacker playbook series. I’m not very far into them yet but so far it’s been really good!
             
            
              
           
          
            
            
              Ghost in the Wires, A Bug Hunters Diary, The Art of Deception, Linux Cookbook series.

              A bit older, but still very good: The Web Application Hacker’s Handbook.
And I second @peek  's suggestion

              I definitely recommend: Hacking - The Art of Exploitation by Jon Erickson. One of the best books I’ve read so far.
