Reviews
"Ethical Hacking is great! I've been using it in my Computer Science, Cybersecurity and Machine Learning high-school classrooms. I really love the idea of having a VM lab that kids can understand and use. Well done!"
-William Heldman PhD, Technology Educator

"Ethical Hacking: A Hands On Introduction to Breaking In by Daniel G. Graham is on my list for book recommendations for those interested and new to cyber. Very well detailed and simple enough for most to understand. Another great book published by No Starch Press."
-Jered Bare, @jeredbare

"Ethical Hacking is filled with great exercises that give you a much deeper understanding of important, complicated topics by having you go through the details of implementation. Making deep fakes, implementing a botnet and other topics are enlightening, lots of fun and will help you defend against these threats, possibly by also helping you find bugs and issues which can disable them!"
-Jamie G., Advanced Reviewer

"Good for beginners in cybersecurity, ethical hacking and offensive security. . . . 4.5 / 5.0"
-Uday Mittal, Cybersecurity Professional
