This book is truly practical. Gus is a great teacher and is very detailed as well. One of my favorite chapter is his break down of how to use Burp Suite. With this book I was able to implement many things for my current project at work. Thanks again Gus.

For those who want a TL:DR - waste of money, filled with information that can be found freely on the internet, provides tutorials on licensed ($400 USD) Burp Suite (not the free version), the last 15% of the book is nothing but cheat sheets for common pen-testing tools (again, free on the internet).Most of the work is a compilation of information that can be freely found using any search engine. I bought this primarily as a beginners introduction to pen-testing websites using Burp Suite. Obviously, the author has a licensed version of Burp Suite and if you want to follow along with the book you'll need to shell out $400 for a Burp Suite license. Otherwise, you aren't going to get much out of that section.There a few examples of how to exploit the OWASP Mutillidae website that the book has you setup. Again, information you can get for free on the internet and even directly from the Mutillidae website itself.
