Plus one for violent python! Blackhat python is a similar book to violent python too that seems good.
If you're coming from a compsci background or have some C knowledge then "Hacking: The art of Exploitation" is a really good one. I found it pretty hard going not knowing absolutely anything, but revisiting it with what I know now, it really does cover a lot of great topics in really good detail. It's really good at explaining the why of things too, whereas a lot of other materials focus on the how it's done only.
> Man how did you get these skills
i did overthewire BANDIT series to get comfortable with linux
https://overthewire.org/wargames/bandit/
i read this book inside and out
https://www.amazon.com/Penetration-Testing-Hands-Introduction-Hacking-ebook/dp/B00KME7GN8
i consumed many walkthroughs for vulnhub boxes, reproducing them step by step until i understood why it worked
i created my own writeups for each box i did so process and method would stick
i watched a LOT of ippsec
That book is a bit out of date. I'd recommend
Basic Security Testing With Kali Linux, Third Edition https://www.amazon.com/dp/1725031981/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_mf-DCbFRVVDBK
Hi,
Thank you for advise.
\> Penetration Testing with Kali linux
​
I m a bit confused here, is that not the material you get when regestering for PWK?
Or are you refering to this book ?
https://www.amazon.com/Web-Penetration-Testing-Kali-Linux/dp/1788623371/ref=dp_ob_title_bk
​
Also, I was wondering to which extend should we focus on
​
. Network (do we need to study the entire CCNA syllabus for example, or only basic routing, DNS, TCP/IP)
. Linux (do we need to study the entire LPIC syllabus or should we focus mainly on for eg; BASH, SED, AWK, etc and all command found in sbin...)
.Windows( Do we need to study entire tools used for Windows servers Powershell, WORKGROUP, AD, GPO, ADSI EDITOR,...)
​
Thank you

I believe these following resources will help you,

Yeah, it's watermarked so I doubt very much that you'll be able to get an up to date version.
If you just want the knowledge, this book contains a lot of similar information

A really good book for OSCP prep:
Penetration Testing: A Hands-On Introduction to Hacking
I want to at least tackle a workbook on the Linux command line, review networking protocols and such, and work through Georgia Weidman's Penetration Testing: A Hands-On Introduction to Hacking, otherwise I fear I'd be throwing money down the drain with lab access.
Are there prerequisite certifications and/or pre-OSCP hands-on training materials that this sub recommends for noobs like me? :-)
The biggest thing is the material they provide. The Red team field manual RTFM helped a ton early on.
I have ordered this one. The hacker PlayBook 3
The Hacker Playbook 3: Practical Guide To Penetration Testing https://www.amazon.de/dp/1980901759/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_bN4OCbJ6W268R
I think this is the book referenced above https://www.amazon.com/Penetration-Testing-Hands-Introduction-Hacking/dp/1593275641
https://www.amazon.com/Learn-Ethical-Hacking-Scratch-penetration/dp/1788622057/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1537727061&sr=8-3&keywords=learn+ethical+hacking&dpID=51o1s3GFRUL&preST=_SX258_BO1,204,203,200_QL70_&dpSrc=srch
Cant get any easier than this.
For your specific situation I would highly recommend purchasing Georgia Weidman's book and working through it with a new kali.
You will learn an inordinate amount simply from fixing the broken packages and commands. Aside from this the exercises are very similar to the lab material.
