The Hacker Playbook 2: Practical Guide To Penetration Testing Review: This book was a great sequel to the first Hacker Playbook - This book was a great sequel to the first Hacker Playbook. I've always enjoyed how the methods that are presented in this book stray away from simple penetration testing methodology into more targeted and smart hacking, with varying emphasis on how loud or silent to be in an engagement. Furthermore, the tools presented in this book as alternatives to the industry standard (e.x, Masscan as opposed to Nmap), are all tools I now include in my arsenal for engagements. Plus, instead of just looking at the same methods of attacking machines and different computing technologies, there are relevant vulnerabilities that are illustrated from an entire year of security research from various hackers (Heartbleed, Shellshock, etc.), making the skills you can acquire from this book relevant to the things you would normally see deployed in today's environment. Most noticeably, the practical approach to this book, the setup of a legitimate testing environment, and illustrated examples of techniques that are based off of real engagements make this book a must have for beginners and experts alike. All in all, 10 out of 10. I highly recommend purchasing this book if you are a penetration tester or looking to get into the security field. Review: "Blade" does it again... 5/5 - Security professional with 5-6 years of high level incident response and threat intel work here. These (THPB 1 and 2) are my go to books for pen testing / offsec. I like Kim's writing style and approach to covering the topics so I always pick up these books at some point. It's a nice and easy light read but has enough technical info and insight by the author to be useful to any information security professional from day onward. It's also worth noting that the author is actively engaged in the security community and working as a very successful penetration tester. Between that and updating the corresponding website ([...]) it's a good value. At the price of less than a pizza delivery and generally in the list of my top 10 security books/series, it's an easy choice to pick these up. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #953,126 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #266 in Software Testing #362 in Computer Hacking | | Book 2 of 3 | The Hacker Playbook | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 4.7 out of 5 stars (813) | | Dimensions | 7 x 0.81 x 10 inches | | ISBN-10 | 1512214566 | | ISBN-13 | 978-1512214567 | | Item Weight | 1.55 pounds | | Language | English | | Print length | 358 pages | | Publication date | June 20, 2015 | | Publisher | CreateSpace Independent Publishing Platform | ## Images ![The Hacker Playbook 2: Practical Guide To Penetration Testing - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/7127-2sCmZL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ This book was a great sequel to the first Hacker Playbook *by L***K on September 1, 2015* This book was a great sequel to the first Hacker Playbook.

The book tries to cover many of the tools which could be used during a technical assessment "pentest or vulnerability assessment"; what makes this book stand out from other similar books is that every single tool listed and explained in the book actually work and are relevant in modern environments, with excellent coverage of powershell as an offensive platform. The book explains how to achieve pentesting tasks in a very straight forward way, along with a brief part about setting up a test environment; It explains many of tools available in kali, passive discovery, creating password lists, scraping open source information, brief web application pentesting class, sqlmap and touches on more advanced topics, like evading AV and executing payloads remotely from memory, just to name few. This is, hands-down, one of the most useful technical assessment books I’ve purchased to date. ## Frequently Bought Together - The Hacker Playbook 2: Practical Guide To Penetration Testing - The Hacker Playbook 3: Practical Guide To Penetration Testing - The Hacker Playbook: Practical Guide To Penetration Testing --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.ph/products/15652144-the-hacker-playbook-2-practical-guide-to-penetration-testing](https://www.desertcart.ph/products/15652144-the-hacker-playbook-2-practical-guide-to-penetration-testing) --- *Product available on Desertcart Philippines* *Store origin: PH* *Last updated: 2026-05-16*
