I did this one before. But since we're making #30daysofthreads a great opportunity for folks to learn gems going into 2020, I figured I bring this one back!

With that being said, I will list 10 books to get started you in #hacking & #penetrationtesting
#CyberSecurity #infosec

“Penetration Testing" by
@GeorgiaWeidman
- 1 of the top books you must read if you're new to hacking or reviewing. Some material is dated but it is still a great book (Georgia is working on a new version. Don't bother her about it!) -
