Product: 1849695105 As a penetration tester, reading the title I thought that the book would While the book’s title would lead you to believe that the book was going to be about using the Bash shell for penetration testing but was instead moreso using the Bash shell to EXECUTE penetration tests using other tools. While not a bad for those who may not know about Bash, but I think for a seasoned Linux/Unix user, most of what was explained in the book is common knowledge.

Product: 1783982144 The Kali Linux Network Scanning Cookbook is a must read for any security professional. The book is extremely well written, and unlike many other books, is very thorough in the use of examples and explaining techniques. Right from the onset, you learn how to setup your own penetration lab and move straight into network scanning. There is not a lot of fluff in the book; just a lot of what you need to know.

Product: 1593277938 Compared to Linux Forensics by Philip Polstra, Practical Forensic Imaging is more detailed in its discussion of the many types of disks, file formats, and the tools used for their forensic acquisitions. I thought the Commands, Protocols, and Bridges section was interesting because you get to learn the different ways to communicate with storage media (read, write, report, etc.). The Securing an Image with Encryption section is especially useful.

Product: 0596006284 This is the best pocket reference book that you can get. Its been really helpful to me in a lot of occasions when you just know that there is a command to do it but just cannot remember what the command is. Would definitely say a must to anybody starting or already working with Unix/Linux. Rating: 5 0596006284 Count: 21

Product: 0596005288 I purchased this book for preparing LPIC exams and then passed the exams. But I found out that from the official LPI website ([…] it lists all the detailed objectives for the exams. Which are more updated than this book. Basically you only need to have one comprehensive Linux book and then follow all the objectives to prepare the exams. By doing that, it should be no problem to pass.

Product: 0071807837 This is not a project cookbook on how to run devices with your Pi. If that is what you want there are better project books to be had and the author has written quite a few very good free project tutorials online. Consider this a good companion to a project book or online tutorial. This book is an introduction to the skills you will need to get beyond simply pasting code and copying wiring diagrams.

Product: 0131448536 This book is a very straightforward, clearly written and valuable introduction to Linux clustering. Geared toward system folks, it also provides numerous `on-ramps’ into the basics of clustering to accommodate quick, relevant review of supporting technology for the reader. It is essentially a map for getting from start to finish in any Linux cluster project. Specific situations, conditions, and expectations differ across projects, of course, and such points are identified well in the text with pointers to additional information provided.

Product: 1680451839 The Linux OS is a free and easy to manipulate code system used on devices such as the Raspberry Pi (the computer, not the pastry), Arduinos, and more. One of the greatest benefits of Linux is that it can be customized very easily. However, this comes with the downside of leaving nearly all aspects of the code to the user, which can be very confusing. Make: Linux for Makers attempts to ease the confusion while showing the power of the Linux kernel.

Product: The Linux Command Line: A Complete Introduction I have a handful of books on Linux and Linux topics. If I could go back in time a few years and recommend one to myself, this would be THE book to cover Linux, without a question. There are two types of Linux books really: learning books, and reference books. This is a learning book. It gives you enough detail on commands and ideas to feel comfortable, but doesn’t overload you with every detail–that’s what the man pages are for!
