This is a comprehensive list of books that are definitely worth reading. However, novices often overlook the importance of mastering the basics first. For example, you can read "Breaking Web Application Programming Interfaces" or "Black Hat GraphQL: Attacking Next Generation APIs, " but you'll struggle with the deeper topics if your understanding of how APIs work or are developed isn't solid. Before diving into any cybersecurity book, it's worth taking a crash course on the foundational topics.

I do enjoying watching about recommendations for books, for sure. Thank you!

Great recommendations here! With the Hacker Playbook by Kim, you actually don't need to start with the first edition (unless you want to be a completist). Kim has done a good job keeping the book updated and he himself says that you don't need to read the first two books if you have the third edition, because he has kept the relevant parts of the 1st and 2nd editions and added up to date vulnerabilities and attacks. In fact, in the Preface to the 3rd edition he says "In addition to the new content, some attacks and techniques from the prior books (which are still relevant today) are included to eliminate the need to refer back to the prior books."

Definitely worth topic. I remember how i started hacking just by curious with book Hacking the art of exploitation. That was totally not for beginners, but i enjoyed a lot

[MarkFoudy]

ya basically these are the books i would recommend too. I totally agree Blackhat GraphQL and API Hacking are both essential reads.

[Ambassador_Kobi]

I'm currently digesting some of the books you've mentioned and I've actually ordered Real World Bug Hunting on Amazon right after you released this video.

[aspoonfulofknowledge]

Yes, talk about more books. Go a little more in depth as to what you thought were the pros and cons and who you would recommend the book for ie. beginners etc. Great video!

[coolperzon]

always love hearing what youre learning from!

Books: You're videos are great but knowing where you got your knowledge or inspiration definitely helps. Maybe even incorporating in in your walk throughs.

I have The Hacker Playbook, Black Hat Python and the Black Hat GraphQL... I will need to get some of those other ones you mentioned

I own a ridiculous amount of books--enough to build a small public library. However, I find them mostly useful as supplemental to practical, hands-on work similarly to a reference guide for certain things. I try not to read them cover-to-cover unless I'm trying to put myself to sleep. Books with practical references and guides (Practical Malware Analysis, etc.) are an exception, of course. Great recommendations, Ben! Now I have to add Black Hat GraphQL to my collection.

[jsbuendiag]

It will be great to know which resources you used to learn what you know and which are the ones you use the most currently to learn. Thanks for video!

[TomTakesTime]

FYI that black hat Python has a more up to date version it was rewritten a few years back. Where it is compatible with python3 etc

[mlsandreas]

it was time for a video like this, thank you!

[lakshaysiwach]

A video on your story exactly how you have reached where you are would be great. Like how you started what led you to start hacking where did you first hear about it then how it progressed what all you did and all.

[IllusionAI]

Just in time to download all of these books to my brand new Kindle Paperwhite. Thanks Ben!

I got my first bug while reading "Real-world bug hunting" book by vickie . I like the way it provides the summary and takeaways. The book is well documented

[monishshah]
