CEH v9 at 15 USD bundle-level is quite a joke, IMHO that should go to the 1 USD level but anyway as someone said Applied Cryptography might be the selling point here.
Personally speaking the only books valuable in this bundle are "Practical Reverse Engineering: x86, x64, ARM, Windows Kernel, Reversing Tools, and Obfuscation" and "Applied Cryptography: Protocols, Algorithms and Source Code in C, 20th Anniversary Edition" the other are either quite outdated, too oversimplified or script-kiddie level stuff.
- ianai 9y agoWhat do you have against CEH v9?
- PeterisP 9y agoNot the original commenter, but just skimmed that book - it's really, really shallow. It seems well written, and covers a lot of ground, but it's literally introductory in the sense of "hey, ianai, let's introduce you to the concepts. Concepts, this is ianai; ianai, these are the concepts, now wave them goodbye and let's move on to the next topic". Answering the test questions included (indicative of the actual certification questions?) generally requires being aware of all the concepts - it doesn't require understanding how/why they work; it doesn't require being able to apply them; simply knowing that they exist and how they're named. It might be a good starter book from someone coming in to the domain, since it would list all the key things that you'd need to know and introduce you to most of the terminology, but in order to actually learn any of these things (and IMHO to be able to pass certification related to any one of these things) you'd need to go much more in depth than this book will allow.
- ianai 9y agoAye, good to know!
