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.
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."
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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!
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
@@DipanshuKumarC Mm that's silly part i didn't found any bug yet because I'm also a biggnner but those books helps a lot more than watching videos it go through all of the concepts and basic in details i mean in web application hackers handbook
what about books from OccupyTheWeb, such as Linux basics for hackers, network basics for hackers, and how to become a master hacker - they are more of basics for beginners but they end up covering many topics in details
Hi Naham, thanks for the video and your effort same as always. Does reading books nowadays still help us in cybersecurity? there are many videos for every topic on youtube or many online courses for cybersecurity, that's why I am asking.
1. Web application's hacker handbook 2. Bug bounty bootcamp: guide to finding and reporting web bug bounties 3. Real-world bug hunting 4. Hacking APIs 5. Black hat GraphQL 6. Black hat Python 8. The hacker playbook 1, 2 & 3
Hi Ben. I'm a web developer and I don't want to become a pentester. But I have a few personal websites (made with Go + HTMX or NextJS or Django) that I want to make sure that they are somehow secure. Is there a book that will help me just to do this?
bro i do have a question do i need to learn web developement to be good at bug bounty i think yes what do you think the reson for that is I'm interested in some bugs race condition, file upload, ssrf,sqli. but sqli and ssrf is hard for me i think need to learn more deeply about web

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
ya basically these are the books i would recommend too. I totally agree Blackhat GraphQL and API Hacking are both essential reads.
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.
I have been reading Real World Bug Hunting for some time now. It is very good
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

That’s a great idea! Will keep this in mind. Thank you!
always love hearing what youre learning from!
Thank you!
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.
Yeah I agree; please make a video

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!
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!
Yeah make more. But can you list the order you’d start with. Like from beginner onward, almost like a roadmap.
Great video, thanks for the recs!
Just in time to download all of these books to my brand new Kindle Paperwhite. Thanks Ben!

Hi Naham, thanks for the video and your effort same as always.
Does reading books nowadays still help us in cybersecurity?
there are many videos for every topic on youtube or many online courses for cybersecurity, that's why I am asking.

bro pls make a course on reverse engineering for red teaming or suggest me a book learn reverse engineering
th-cam.com/video/OWEZQMVLMPs/w-d-xo.htmlsi=DKUGJmaSFTvW-i14
This lady is a good watch teaches fundamentals of reverse engineering
Liked the content! Could you create a video about more fundamental books for people who want to start web app hacking?( Perquisites) Thanks Dadash❤
nice! , when are you writing your own book? 👀
Should we read the Web application hacking handbook is it still worth reading this in 2024
Every book is worth reading because it will create a sense on how to approach and to adapt web hacking skills
Totally worth reading!
I like to have those books but it cost me a lot in India ,if there any place I can get used books or pdf
Thanks brother.
Thanks you a lot Sir
thanks
Excellent sir, thanks!
