Getting Started Becoming a Master Hacker

This tutorial-style book follows upon Occupytheweb’s Best Selling “Linux Basics for Hackers” and takes the reader along the next step to becoming a Master Hacker. Occupytheweb offers his unique style to guide the reader through the various professions where hackers are in high demand (cyber intelligence, pentesting, bug bounty, cyber warfare, and many others) and offers the perspective of the history of hacking and its legal framework. This book then guides the reader through the essential skills and tools before offering step-by-step tutorials of the essential tools and techniques of the hacker including; reconnaissance, password cracking, vulnerability scanning, Metasploit 5, antivirus evasion, covering your tracks, Python, and social engineering. Where the reader may want a deeper understanding of a particular subject, there are links to more in-depth articles on a particular subject. 

 Master OTW doesn’t just provide tools and techniques, but rather he provides unique insights into the mindset and strategic thinking of the hacker. This is a must-read for anyone considering a career in cybersecurity!

Quite frankly the most enthralling tutorial-style book I have ever read of any kind in my 41 years in this earth, has everything I was looking for and more.

Covering some of the most significant hacks and exploit developments in hacking history, then transitioning into each portion of the hacking process from reconnaissance, to exploitation, to sniffing and packet analysis, web hacking, evasion, etc. This book covers all the basics you need to know to start hacking.

“I bought the eBook yesterday and started reading it immediately, I finished it early this morning. The information is absolutely FANTASTIC!! Just like OTW’s first book ”Linux Basics for Hackers”, I couldn’t put it down. The information he presents is the best in over 35 books I’ve purchased on the subject of hacking. Detailed, accurate, thought provoking and very well laid out. I really enjoyed the history presented on various exploits throughout history and his expertise on the subject matter. I recommend going to the links he presents on these histories. If you want to start studying the subject of hacking or cyber security, I would highly recommend getting both of his books and start with Linux Basics for Hackers and transition to “Getting Started Becoming a Master Hacker” soon thereafter. I can’t wait until his next (3rd) book comes out!! I’d also advise you to become a member of his website “Hackers-Arise “. It’s an awesome site with a plethora of information on the [subject] of hacking/cyber security.”
