Linux Basics For Hacker: Understanding Hacking Tools, Penetration Testing, Linux Mint, Kali Linux And More: Kali Linux Hacking Commands (Kindle Edition)

Reading Now: (04/20/2022) So far so good! This book has a lot of basics that a hacker needs. The ePub Book format dose not work very well with the Kindle App. itself doesn't seem to have the right orientation: automatic or Landscape, nor Portrait is not enough to make the pagination work at all. The maximum Font is still way to small to read.
