Not a good audio book

Any additional comments?

Some books should not be audio books. This is one of them. I probably should have known better but it takes way too much writing, visiting sites, downloading tools etc. All fine and good but not appropriate for an audio book.

Very Basic and not suitable for audible format

What disappointed you about Hacking: Computer Hacking, Security Testing, Penetration Testing, and Basic Security?

The narrator reading and/or spelling Linux commands is painful.

Has Hacking: Computer Hacking, Security Testing, Penetration Testing, and Basic Security turned you off from other books in this genre?

The book is a good beginners look at hacking using script kiddy tools but that’s about it. Hearing it narrated does not help as much as reading would.

Who would you have cast as narrator instead of T. W. Ashworth?

This is not a great topic for audible.

Very Engaging & Thorough.

Packed with highly relevant info, great for defensive measures, stress testing, and thinking like the enemy.

good basic overview of info security

covers the major topics and provides enough detail for an interested listener to dive in more deeply. because it's a technical subject the audiobook be boring at times but people with some IT background and familiarity with Linux should be able to extract meaning from the audio.
