Conclusion:
This is one of the best beginner ethical hacking tutorials I've seen. I won't recommend it on my own accord as I despise ethical hacking, but if I were into it then this would be my to-go tutorial. You were spot-on with a lot of things.
9/10

As I said, this e-book is totally free. However, I work a full-time job while also going to college full-time as well. As you can imagine, writing this book has required a significant investment of my time, and a LOT of work compiling research and my own personal knowledge and experience into these humble pages. If you would like to recognize and thank me for any help I've been to you, I will welcome and graciously accept any donations. Donators who give $25 or more will receive special recognition in my book as updates are released.

I will also accept contributions of knowledge and experience to this book. If you believe you have something to offer, please send me feedback or share your own experience as a hacker with me so that I can recognize you as well!

THE HACKERS' ETHOS - FREE EDITION

** Because I have received almost no donations for this book, the link is provided through adf.ly. I'm sorry, for the inconvenience to you all, but financial struggles going on in my life have made writing this book difficult without at least some guarantee of earning some small amount of money. In order to keep my e-books free, all of my future work will be hosted on adf.ly from now on.

I ask that you continue to show your support of my many months of hard work on this by staring at an ad for 5 seconds before reading my book. Your support, as always, is appreciated. Black Hat

Letter from the Author


I have been a member of this forum since early 2011, and started my journey in my career of penetration testing and hacking back in 2002. After being a relatively silent reader and hear-and-there contributor of the forum, offering advice in the beginner's forum, I have decided that I wanted to create a more comprehensive and focused solution. I want to do my part to help new adopters of this profession and hobby find their way by offering up my first-ever E-book here for public viewing on HackForum. This community has given me a lot of assistance and has been a faithful resource for me since I joined it, and now I want to add to it.

This thread will be home to the first of hopefully many e-books that I intend to write. This E-book is an on-going project, and it will be receiving updates as I am able to work on it in my spare time. In the meanwhile, it will be offered up for free via google.drive and open source to the public. I encourage any and all feedback on this e-book to make it better and more helpful to the readers. Feedback from experienced members will be greatly appreciated.

As I write and release new books, they will be added here as well. Keep an eye out for new publications! Thanks again, HF! Here's to you and the staff!
