Excellent introduction to Kali. Based on the description I would have thought there was more detail and content than there was though.The font was large which makes it easy to read but also a lot less content than I expected there to be. I’m a slow reader and was reading 120 pages a day.Otherwise it was great, learnt quite a bit even though I’ve been using Kali for a while. I will however be looking for more detailed books.
