Had a long trip ahead and a few Audible books on the phone so I've decided to give this book a go. And all I had in mind while listening to this is that there is no way that you can make any books that have code or program instructions to be comfortable to listen instead of reading. I, also, don't get the point of reading whole URLs (sometimes with queries) or describing software interface and where to click.
Don't get me wrong, this book is probably a good choice for beginners but it's utterly useless for any individual familiar with programming on security testing. To quote part of another review:
“It skims over the basic history and types of attacks and then spews a bunch of penetration testing tools which will be outdated shortly. There are no true hacking or penetration tips that you couldn't resolve from common sense or a basic security seminar. This is more of a pamphlet than a book.”
So, 1/5 from me, it's not worth the read for any devs with basic knowledge of the security.
