    A few selected books I found healful

    If you are new to Linux, I highly recommend OTW's Linux Basics for Hackers. Having read numerous books on Linux over the years, I found this one to be written very clearly, and the information is excellent. I'd also recommend the UNIX and Linux System Administrators Handbook by Evi Nemeth, Garth Snyder, Trent R. Hein, Ben Whaley, and Dan Mackin. This is pretty much the best resource for all things related to the systems administration of *nix (as the title indicates).

    Georgia Weidman's Penetration Testing: A Hands-On Introduction to Hacking is great book for OSCP students, as she wrote it as a sort of supplemental guide for the OSCP course.

    OTW also recently finished his new book called Getting Started Becoming a Master Hacker. I received an early pdf of the book from the author and read through it, it is quite good. The Python chapter is one that would be extremely beneficial to anyone struggling with python wrt penetration testing and networking in general.

    Justin Seitz's Gray Hat Python and Black Hat Python are also useful.

          Justin Seitz's books are great I created a github repo with some updates for Gray Hat Python to bring the samples more upto date so for instance that they can be used on Win10 x64 and using some newer python libs https://github.com/stavinski/grayhat_python_redux

            I'm prob gonna pick up the black hat python book next, reading social engineering the science of human hacking by Chris Hadnagy, It's a good book that is a actual cover to cover reader, not like a lot of the straight reference books like red team man.
