Following the success of Linux Basics for Hackers, OccupytheWeb does what he did for Linux to Networks. Networks of all types, including TCP/IP, Bluetooth Networks, Car Networks, W-iFi Networks, Radio Frequency Networks, SCADA/ICS Networks, and more. In his inimitable style, Master OTW makes the seemingly complex, simple.

This book is designed for beginner to intermediate cybersecurity professionals. It begins with the basics of networks and networking, examines network analysis with Wireshark and tcpdump, offers one of the most complete and in-depth analyses of Wi-Fi and Bluetooth networks, then progresses through the various protocols such as DNS, ARP, SMTP, and others. The reader will be led through the building of those applications in Linux, such as an EXIM server for email or a BIND server for DNS. Then OTW leads the reader through the major vulnerabilities of that protocol/application.

In the final chapters, OTW leads the reader through some of the networks on the leading-edge of cybersecurity, such as Car, Radio, and Industrial networks. There has never been book quite like this one!

“The Networking Basics for Hackers is an invaluable resource for anyone looking to understand the technology and techniques used by hackers. The book covers a wide range of topics related to hacker networks, from the fundamentals of network architecture and security to more advanced topics like packet sniffing and wireless hacking. Throughout the book, Occupy the Web explains the concepts in a clear and concise manner. He also provides exercises throughout the book at the end of each chapter to help readers better get to grips with the concepts and techniques. Overall, this book is an excellent resource for those looking to get a better understanding of the technology and techniques used by hackers. With its comprehensive coverage, it is sure to be a valuable asset to anyone interested in improving their knowledge of networking and security. Highly recommended!”

“Master OTW has done it again! This is a must have book that everyone in cybersecurity should have in their library. The only question I have is, why did it take so long for someone to write this book? OTW walks the beginner through network basics and network analysis but rapidly progresses to the various protocols such as DNS, ARP, SMTP, SMB and their vulnerabilities. He also walks the reader through building instances of those protocols in Linux such as a exim4 SMTP server or a BIND server. Finally, he explains the intricacies of such important but little understand networks such as SCADA/ICS, Radio Frequency, and Automobile Networks. The chapters on Bluetooth and Wi-Fi hacking are worth the price of the book alone. This book is probably the best coverage of those two wireless technologies on the market today. Well worth the money.”

Amazon Review
Computer/IT topics do not come easily to me. This book is so carefully and thoughtfully written that even my crayon-eating pea brain can grasp the material being presented. I wish I had found it sooner. I cannot overstate the joy of finally understanding the concepts presented, which have always sounded like word salad to me prior to this. Core concepts are presented with the minimum information a beginner needs to know, thus facilitating learning without excessive frustration or confusion. This book is a must for ever newb.

OTW’s engaging and straightforward writing style makes complex topics approachable, and I particularly appreciated the practical applications provided. The book’s combination of theory and hands-on projects allows readers to build a robust skill set that can be immediately applied in real-world scenarios… I highly recommend ‘Network Basics for Hackers’ for those entering the cybersecurity field or individuals simply looking to brush up on their networking knowledge. It is an invaluable resource for students, IT professionals, and hobbyists who want to understand how networks operate and how they can be exploited and defended against threats.”
