I also saw that ad. Haven't bought the book but checked its contents on amazon. There's just something about this book that I'm not comfortable with, but that's just my intuition. Perhaps, it could actually be a good book..perhaps not. I googled for a review of this book and found nothing.
I would give this book more time and wait for a LOT of reviews before buying it.
Just my 2 cents...

It's the first ad in the latest issue of hack9 magazine.

After looking at the author's website and watching some of his videos, I am not very impressed. However, the price on the book is only $25, at that price it might be worth a read.

Honestly, $25 spending to "become the world's no.1 hacker" seems some what outlandish to boast. The fact there's no reviews on Amazon or blogs post about it says volumes to me.

I'd spend the money on a book rated by decent security professionals who are well known for the teaching abilities.  Or save it up to later sign up for the any number of excellent on-courses.

Have a look at some of his videos and compare them to anything by John Strand, Muts or mubix. I know who I'd want to learn from ;-)

The book released just 2 months back I think and we're unnecessarily giving it a negative response based on nothing more than our instinct. Guys, it could actually be a good book and in which case we are not doing justice to the author.

I've heard a few well known security people asking for copies to review, so I hope to have some indication of the material one way or another very soon.

If someone in the forums get a copy and reviews it, I'd be interested in their thoughts.


Happy to be proved wrong about my feelings on what this is going to be like :-)

title is so over rated.
