    This book is likely the most complete guide to penetration testing that I’ve come across, both as a learning resource and as a reference. The reader is led from setting up test virtual machines, through understanding salient transaction details of various protocols to understanding how these details may be exploited to compromise a host. Way beyond just becoming some script kiddie, this material leaves the reader well positioned to evaluate system vulnerabilities in an educated manner
