Today I want to show you my top 3 books in the hacking/security niche. Depends on which side you’re on, if it’s hacking or security π
It’s a great field to deepen your knowledge in that will be of a lot of value to you.

- SQL Injection Attacks and Defense
A classic everyone serious about hacking/security should read. Especially web developers. It’s a serious problem. All levels.

- Ethical Hacking
Full overview about (legal) penetration testing. While Bug Bounty Bootcamp covers mostly web apps, this book is going deeper, i.e. networks, cryptography, scanning, fuzzing.
I had another book for pos 3 about Buffer Overflows, but it’s over 20 years old and I can’t really find the english version on Amazon anymore, if there ever was one π
Buffer Overflows are less often nowadays, because only little programs are written in C today, but they still occur and can be very very dangerous.
Enjoy reading.
