Not Pen Testing

After reading through this book, it was clear that it teaches you nothing about:
1) Penetration testing
2) Securing your environment

What it does go over are all the possible tools you can download out there, and how you can randomly hack things around you.

Moreover, it is light on methodology, and only touches on operating system and application level security.

This book is a bad idea for those new to pen testing: seek other resources. It is even worse for professionals, who should be cautious altogether.
