Forum Thread: Basic (literarily) Equipment

For networking, you might try to find the book Introduction to networks by cisco. You can find everything about kali right here on null-byte, and you might want to look into Metasploit Unleashed.

Thanks, I'll check it out ;)

EDIT:
Which one?
The course booklet

or the Companion Guide

You can look here for the book.

As an intro I loved "The Basics of Hacking and Penetration Testing" by Patrick Engebretson.

Is that book just about installing and setting up Kali or more?
Because I found a lot books which only explain how to install Kali on a VM.

Hi guys.

What about the online hacking stuff courses like they have at Udemy, infosec etc? Are they good for learning hacking or one should go for books only?

In my humble opinion, the stuff on Udemy is pretty basic. InfoSec has much better material.

Remember that you need the basics of Linux and networking before trying to master hacking.

Mr. Occupy The Web, thanks for your opinion. I completely agree on that head. After going through one course at Udemy, I felt insufficient, wanting... I was just wondering where should one go after learning the basics of Linux and networking.
