Ethical Hacking

Great book! It provided me with the information that I was looking for and is an easy read. It is definitely a good start.
Good read, but primarily as an introductory primer. General info and comprehensive, with good discussion and resources.
This book is easy to read and describes basic security principles and technologies in an understandable manner.
I highly recommend this book to anyone that wants to develop a detailed understanding of the significant issues that affect doing business on the web.

Absolutely recommended, although not recommended for someone with very little computer knowledge, or someone that have never written a line of code before, if that is your case this will be very difficult to pick up.
This is a great read for people who want to know the nuts and bolts of exploitation.
I would recommend it to anyone, who has a reasonable skill in assembler and C and needs to get some awareness of security vulnerabilities.
If you have a need to understand how the tools work and how to actually find exploits then i highly recommend it.
It is very good and lives up to my expectations.

Overall, a fantastic read. Even if you don't plan to enter the field on a business level, if you have interests in computer security it's worth getting.
This book is a great reference for penetration testing. I would recommend it to anyone.
Good content. May be a bit outdated now. But it's not as thorough as I'd like. More about tools than concepts.
This book is written in a straightforward manner, right to the point, hands-on exercises and all
This book is very informative and well worth the reading.

This book is recommended for web hacking.
This is a very good book with lots of examples.
It also shows you the tools which will get you started.
This is by far the best text I have ever come across on the topic of web application vulnerability exploits.
Strengthening your websites would be the most benefit from reading this book most likely.
Get the book if you are not keen on vulnerable cookie-cutter code and hacker prone pages.

The Tangled Web by Michal Zalewski

A great reference book for all security web engineers.
The book provides systematic coverage of browser security.
It's an impressive web and browser inside out. This book is for you, if you want to learn the pitfalls.
It's certainly a book for application security professionals, not for beginners.

Cryptography Engineering by Niels Ferguson, Bruce Schneier, and Tadayoshi Kohno

This is an excellent buy. It's a "middle ground" book and probably the one you should start with if you are interested in practical cryptography.
A great book for those wanting to broach into the CYBERSECURITY space...
The focus is on the engineering and security aspect, rather than the theoretical or mathematical.
I would recommend this book to anyone newish to cryptography that wants recommendations on which crypto algorithms or methods to use.

This book is an in-depth look at black hat techniques for finding and exploiting software vulnerabilities.
This is a great reference both for reverse engineering beginners and for coders who have done some reversing.
This book is a great review of software security and deserves to be on any security professional's bookshelf.
The one major strength of this book, from a computer science viewpoint, is its emphasis on "attack patterns".

This book is really good for getting a feel for the mindset and process required for vulnerability hunting.
Well it's a good book, not excellent because has not steps to do things or present the same case on different views like "case study".
If you're interested in bug hunting, this is the book you want.
This is a very good book. But make sure you have great coding skills in order to take advantage of all that the book can offer.
It's an excellent book for security professionals/researchers and web application penetration testers.
Excellent book, easy to read, interesting content. It is inspiring for writing better and resistant code.

Great book about NMAP. A bit dated but still excellent.
Reads well and dives deep on nmap, technical, and operation flow, some funny stories in there to.
If you're looking at doing network analysis, this book is a must-read and inexpensive compared to most IT-field references.
Too much information, but that's why I bought this book! nmap is crazy powerful and this book tells it all!

This is definitely a book to get if you want to learn SQL injection from the ground up.
This book is awesome! Any security researcher, web developer, pen tester, or student should read this!
Anybody interested in databases should read this. It has tons of code examples in it - MySQL, Oracle SQL, SQL Server, PostgreSQL, Java, C#, and PHP.
This is a great resource for penetration testers, recreational hackers, and security professionals. I highly recommend it.
Great book so far, great explanations and useful stuff

Good book. However, it is a bit outdated.
Best book I've seen on Metasploit. This book provides excellent coverage of MANY of the features in Metasploit. Highly recommended.
This book will not only help you master Metasploit, it will give you different approaches that can be deployed to a variety of pen tests.
It's a fantastic introduction to penetration testing. The material is voluminous and will take hands-on use to really understand.
Great book for starters to this framework, like myself. Very much enjoy the writing and steps listed in the book.

Great book for intermediate-advanced people with webapp/security experience. I certainly wouldn't recommend it for beginners.
This book offers tons of techniques and strategies for attacking and defending web applications.
The book is very good with relevant information.
